Gravity 12hour.

Magnificent event. Friday rain made for an almost perfect course come race day Saturday. Entered in Mens threes team, 18th I think. Only off was my first lap, just after the bolt across the open field, the first bit of climbing singletrack I connected with the rear wheel of the rider in front while in the granny & came down real awkward like. Was used as a foot hold for riders clambering up behind me, lost a million places, but it was a good lap in the end.
Paulie & Phil in our team were punching out real consistent lap times, we managed 6 laps each by the end of the day.
End of the day, a few beers by the bon fire & A great sleep in Sunday morning with a lazy drive home.

Best event so far in my books, would recommend to anyone.
