Competition Stage 5 Spray Tunnel.

Mon Morn. Dual time trial. Open dirt track, single track. Dark tunnel. Open track. 6km.

Didn't checkout my times or starting time till the morning. Preferring to kick back at the Treasure Island Caravan Park in Zeehan. Start times went from slowest to fastest so i was pretty sure that I'd be near the end.

Checking the start list i had to laugh....





Me and Sid.... I told him i'd be trying to hold his wheel as long as possible. He laughed.

I stuck with him for a bit but couldn't hold it and had to let him go.... Pity, he won the stage.

It was tough. Minimal single track and then a long fireroad that slowly climbed to the finish. Being by myself didn't help but i could see the guys who started in front and tried to keep in contact.

After this stage we rode to a small community on the coast called Trial harbour. An amazing little place with no fences.





You probably wouldn't buy a car from there but it was nice to visit.....
