Streuth, it's been almost a year since a race number has found its way onto the back of my jersey. Hardly an auspisious occasion - Thursday night Dirt Crits at Westgate, hardly an auspisious result - DNF on the 3rd of 5 laps in B grade, due to a puncture on the front. I think it was pinch flat from smashing over the disused trainline out on course, as the tyre pretty much popped & dropped all it's pressure all in 2 seconds. I tried my best to run the bike the 200metres back to the start/finish & replace the tube (yes, I still don't do tubeless), but by the time & had the tyre pumped & bike righted, the first of B grade where crossing the line for the last time. Nevertheless it was still racing & I think that bug has bitten once again....there's always next week...
