Well done to James well deserved win and great for the club.
Kevin 6th and Davie 22nd in the masters. Micko is the daddy vet follow by Joe and myself.
Fair play to ali for giving it a go today. I think he cramped up badly and pull out At the 38k feed station. Sure theres always next year. :)
I enjoyed this one much more than the Cooley thriller. Some tough long climbs rewarded with some super fast single tracks. Legs went dead at 55k but I managed to keep cycle through it and finished with a bang >:(

Savage course, very well marked and we also had the reassurance of the GPS maps which meant you were never slowing down to work out the route. Thankfully they used a lot more of the official trails than last year race so it wasn’t a slog. My arms we hanging off me towards the end the sheer amount of singletrack. They even built new trails to get around the puddles. Organisation was spot on, I can’t praise it enough.
As for my race I went for the slow and steady approach:-) Well I didn’t go bonkers at the start anyways. I ended up with a small lead over Mark McGauley and the English guy Anthony White. White got away after a while working with Ray who dropped back from the lead group. In the end Ray blew again an I passed him in on his back in a ditch:-) He caught back up and it was a sprint finish to the line, how cool was that.

Yeah well done to everyone that made the effort to race! Making me feel very lazy! Great result for you James! Just remind me not to go on one of your spins in the future if you say the pace will be slow and steady!! That obviously means flat out for 60km with no stops for chat!! :(
