Big weekend of Mountainbikes part2

Sunday... FTF winter Series Round 4. Officer.
Final round of the series, with a 4th, 1st and 2nd I had to go. Been a while since I've finished an XC series.
The weather on saturday was ugly and sunday wasn't looking any better. And the rain didn't hold back. Cold and wet was the order of the day. With a minimal turnout for A grade it was a matter of getting around and hoping the 8 hours of saturday Epix riding wouldn't slow me down too much.
With Big George, joel and i on the startline we had went with the No Warmup and No Clipping in till the gun goes off rules. Seemed to work for me. Stunned into life up the first fireroad I followed joel around for part of the first lap before taking the lead and slip sliding my way around the park...




Early on in the race, clean...

Half waydone?? still kinda clean so maybe not....

As the race went on i lost the rear brake, over shooting a corner or two and finding the rough i realised it was metal on metal. oh well, along with my rear tyre I was relying on skills to keep me moving...

The Side knobs grip, you just have to lean it over there....

In the end I stayed in first. Covered in mud and loving it.

Finished! Mud times. RIP rear pads, front pads and bottom bracket...

Series Winner!! Dare I say one of the Best Trophys I've got...
