Challenge:

Terry Hills - Centre track/Duck Hole - Loop

Time:

00:31:41

Went out with the intention of sub 30... But no, not even close. The track was damp and the sand was like super glue. Was pushing the limits of my silly tyres which ended up putting me in the trees at 35kph! Managed one of the best saves of my life to some how keep it upright and miss everything bad... Im still using the road cassette which is killing my legs on that bloody hill! I managed to do the centre track from top to bottom in around 8:30 ish so that was fun - used the downhill to rest (max 58kph) Then hit the uphill. Was really hoping i had enough of a buffer.. But then saw the timer hit 30:00.... Bummer - and that last driveway can go to hell!

Nice time. Has the 29er

Awesome time BF - that will take some beating. 8 mins for centre track is flying, and its pretty sketchy these days down that last hill to the road. I neally went thru the gate on my hotlap.

Cheers Dicko

I was thinking before i went out that i'd have a quick rest, then do the loop the other way to compare... But owing to the fact my head was about to explode and my legs were concrete.... No chance. The real plan was actually to head up to awaba - looked at the radar at 6.30, saw the huge blob of red heading to awaba, then went back to bed disappointed... maybe next weekend...
