Tour of August

[BadBlood]

It was great weather for the 1st stage or the Tour of August at Razorback Mountain this morning.
I think about 120 entries.
Among the riff raff was myself, Don, Zoran, Chuck and i think it was Kevin who was counting us down?
I posted a time of 12m13s on the 3.8km course, equal 3rd in B grade.
Stages 2 and 3 are next weekend at Horsley Park and the Regatta Centre.

Good to see you again Todd. Sounds like all your hill climbing is paying off
I got 13.02, happy with that, was just hoping for anything under 14mins.

Don

p.s. Yes it was Kev at the bottom sign in/timing booth
Apparantly $20 bribe got you 1min off your time

Well done guys. Weather looked good from here so hope it was a good day.

G'Day Russ, was an awesome day, if a little chilly early.

Hope you're resting comfortably mate. I was where you are a few months ago and I know half the battle is getting comfortable.

Cheers

no racing for me this weekend
Saturday alvo - Pub with my daughters soccer team
Sunday Morning - Mtbing at Yarramundi

mtbing has to be safer then a bunch sprint at the Regatta centre

No place for a sweet looking Colnago or a Huffy for that matter

Jealousy, curse these good looks

definately not chucky
I am just trying to get some mtb time in as i have 2 races coming up

50km Three Ring Circus in Wingello - August 22nd
100km Angry Doctor in Mogo - Sept 13th

So mtb takes priorty till Mid September. Road riding is good but there is nothing like fanging through the bush on some single track.
I am even riding the mtb to work tomorrow and hitting up the local Trails for a bit in the alvo.

Couldn't find Badblood and Kev snuck it in when the paparazzi weren't around.

[Spiza]

Looks like you were hurting a little Chuck

[Kev365428]

Ha,

How flat does that road look?

Kev.

[leximack]

the photo dude was at the point of the road where it steps up a few % in gradient. You can see the finish line at that point but its still a good distance away and all at more than 10% gradient.
I was starting to hurt at that point but i could see Zozz up ahead, i just had to catch and pass the big fella

Fun day, anymore of these this yr?

I reckon Landsdowne is way more dangerous than the Regatta....3 stacks in 3 races......those narrow roads are accidents always waiting for sunday.

Buwahahahahahaha...pain leads to suffering...like a true jedi Chuck
