It was a great day out thanks to the weather and trail fairies. I can’t believe how well the trails were groomed! Perfect racing conditions.

I think I prefer the James Williamson course though… Two laps of the red loop and no wall.

Congrats to Fleming. I saw him attack about 3km in and he obviously never looked back. Not even Lewis and others could work together to bring him back. Awesome effort.

Well done, another good result. I guess you started in the first group that Huw called elite.

I've not done this one but 2 hours sounds FAST to me.

No idea what Huw said to be honest... Does anyone listen to those rider briefings? Anything quirky is normally covered in the pre race pack they send out.

I started fourth row. With that sort of long firetrail start it normally doesn't matter where you start that much. Theres the inevitable self seeding process that happens at the first hill!

Are you racing Bottlebutt as well?

Yeah will be. Still not sure about backyamma the week before though.

That is one seriously quick time mate, you will be giving the super fast guys a run for their money soon. Well done.

It seemed like he only let 4 or 5 rows start then held the rest of us for 4 minutes. Your probably lucky you got away with a quick group.
I guess Huw likes his mass starts. It didn't make much difference to me because there wasn't any holdups until after I got into the single track.
