    Some hectic racing

    Sundays GNCC race. I managed the intermediates holeshot nice and clean. It was super dusty and the track was really rough and quite technical for a cross country track. Despite a stuff up getting stuck in a bog like a retard on the second lap I finally managed a decent race for the series. The body hurt a lot after finishing this one!

    That would certainly shake the arthritis out of the bone joints.

    I was talked into entering this event, first xc event I have ever entered, I am just an amateur trail rider. I got two laps done and that was enough for me, absolutely rooted. Got round the first lap with no falls or stops then on the second lap it all started falling apart (or off). I have the utmost respect for anyone who can pump out 7 laps in those conditions!

    Awesome that you came along! It was definitely one of the more challenging XC tracks and it was very rough. Would have been absolute carnage if it was really wet.

    Modern 2 strokes with dialled in suspension for the rider are real weapons for those races. Just needs the rider to be super fit Best part is if you are a serious rider clocking up the hours, a rebuild won't put you in the poorhouse, unlike the modern 4 stroke.

    Dust takes some of the fun out of it. We were always over the moon if we had decent rain before an event.
