It was the biggest Elite Woman’s field today ever. Standing on the start line I felt crowded by the nine other girls around me – crazy! Then two minutes later we were off into it, racing around the funnest track in Bethune’s Gully. It was the same course that Oceania’s will be held on in March so it was good to have a race on the track now to know what we will be in for later. Two days ago when we arived here in Dunedin it was mud slush city, the track was just loose everywhere but it had dried up heaps by this afternoon, making it pretty fast. Amy Liard cleaned up again, Sara McDonald was just behind and I finished up third.
I got a brand new Jamis bike two days ago, complete with everything flash - carbon this and Sram XX that it’s pretty pretty! The geometry is real different compared to the Dragon though, but hopefully it won’t take long to get use to. Having two chain rings is way better, having a gold chain makes it meaner too and having componentry that works again! You can’t beat that. Next weekend is the South Island Cup final in Nelson. This round is a selection race for Worlds meaning everyone will be going harder and less tired to begin with so it should be a good test!
It’s great to find out web-sites with info and thx for the discuss that you have given. Generally, I’m quite stunned, but etc…
