Wahoo! I sent my ‘a’ into ‘g’ for this final round of the South Island Cup and came up trumps. I had a good race finishing first, kept all my skin attached to my body and I walked away with a special white envelope!! Since this round was a selection race I made sure I didn’t have legs of lead on the start line, this made the race so much more fun – I could finally ‘go’ and then keep ‘go-ing’. Amy and I had another good battle for the first part of the race, once I passed her heading up a slippery bank I just rode at a controlled pace till the end.
I reckon this was the best National Series course laid on for us so far, it was pretty tough and good as. The course incorporated most of the tracks they had used for Nationals last year with some new ones thrown in to form one big mother of a climb, suiting local climbing gun George Bennett as he won the elite men’s race. Now it is a weekend off racing to be at home, finally and sleep in my own bed. Then up north and into some more racing as the North Island series begins.
Some good photo’s from this SI cup race can be found here.
