Posted: 23 Mar 2008, 12:38
Venue: E.C. Dragway
Race report
Arrived and advised of experience, C grade number issued. Attempt at grade renegotiation, C grade number re-issued
Attire
Netti undershirt, left the santini singlet at home. Bib, DH jersey, remembered boots
Other DH Riders spotted
Fixed gear and Eugene
Practice lap
Course was the drag way, about 3 kms long. No real hills, nice smooth bitumen. The sensation being the Drag way proper is coated in rubber which becomes gooey as temp increases. Laid a bit of rubber on it. Slight head wind at sections, (the scent of Sydney's consumption is on the breeze out there = a tip?). Opps to take a nice line thru corners
Back to the future
It all comes down to the sprint; 1. went to early, was out in front. 2. never look back. 3. never stop pedalling. Pipped at post, got 3rd...
Distance
About 56 kms. Av about 35.5
Prize
A spare tube and pair of socks

Aren't you glad you went in C grade. Yes, as the winner of D grade passed C grade
