This race was just a one day race, held on the Sunday, but I did some runs on Saturday with brother Ryan, Carl, Cam and Lloyd as being test riders. Ryan got them to change the pedaly bit at the top so we could ride on the road instead of the soft track which really woulda sucked since it was up hill and some of it was off camber. That was only bit that we got changed, we also decided that it muds front and rear would be a good idea.
Sunday was practice day and race day. Practice started off good, did pretty much all my runs with Lloyd and Carl. was staying on for most of the day until the last 3 or 4 practice runs where i started crashing about half way down the track and in the end chute. The end chute wasn't always my fault, I blame Carl for crashing in front of me for 1 or 2 of them.... Once practice runs finished I decided to stand in front of the BBQ to warm up and to 'protect' it from the little bit of rain. Once the sausages were of the BBQ I stuck my hands with gloves on them over the BBQ to try
and dry my gloves after washing all the mud off them. Worked pretty good, gloves were mostly dry by the time I had to leave for my race run. Race run went good, I could grip the bars after washing the mud off and drying the gloves. My goal for this race was to stay on and try not to take my feet off too much since I was the only girl racing so had no competition. Plan went pretty good, stayed on for my run. Nearly lost in it the end chute but kept my feet on and managed to stay on so i was happy. Got Made (mtb movie) to being fastest girl..
