Dodgey start to 2009 for racing: first time back after the new year @ Westgate Dirt Crits I ploughed through a dusty corner on the first lap, graze my right elbow & spend the rest of the race rolling about in the midst the valiant C graders (I started out in the B grade field). Even though I did get almost a whole lap down before my off ,it wasn’t a stella pace & my remount followed a comprehensive roll in the dust after a good sweat (29degree evening) so I was a sight to behold.
Rode the Anthem. Looking at going from the 2x MTBs to just one , a dually. Getting a nice new frame & putting all my good bits on that & selling the Anthem with whatever is left over.
Seemed like a big turnout, but the results showed a lot of DNFs. Mine came from the decision to call it after only 3 laps (not 4).
Big events coming up for me are the Otway Challenge 29th March http://www.supersprint.com.au/events/great-ocean--otway-classic-ride.aspx & the BMC100 19th April http://www.maxadventure.com.au/bmcclassic/ . With Chase the Sun starting up on the 26th April at Lysterfield with an 8 hour http://www.fullgaspromotions.com.au/new/cts.html .
