I knew I hadn't done as much riding as I would have liked leading into this one but I was feeling pretty good and was reasonably confident.
I got off to a good start up the fire trail and entered the single trail in the lead and settled down into a tempo and rhythm I was comfortable with.
Back out on the fire trail Beggsie blasts past near the top of the hill. I was feeling good and thought of challenging but in my last race (round #1) I rode much better by just sticking to my own tempo so Beggs hits the main ST a little in front of me.

and looking for best suggestions to name it
Cross country will take place in the morning. we'll need help timing XC and setting up for the DH.
If you turn up at the DH area and we're running late and quick rake of the trail would be nice.
also if someone could pick up the cables from the XC area and get them run out while you are waiting it will make things easier.

Great racing.
I reckon the Mt Lambie trail will be a winner. It will really improve every ones riding skills as well as give us a good cardio work out. A little work to some of the up hill corners to improve flow and I can see it becoming one of my favs. What's every one else think?
Anyway
Blue Mts rider Cillian Kennedy was a class above. Usually noted as a Down Hill rider, currently ranked 2nd in the state, Cillian's bike handling skills got him through the tight and technical sections smoothly and then he powered up the climbs, putting a big gap into the field after just 1 lap.

Tough little race and the pace certainly didn't easy up with the increase in laps.
Well done to Rich who rode away with a win, well clear of myself with Dan Blowes pushing me all the way. Thought he was going to pip me at the post for sure

Most of use will be heading down to Glenbrook to do the W2G classic for the XC round on Sunday so I suggest this one gets turned into a Dig day to get the trail ready for the State round
