Yeah thanks Gravity mob for a seriously good 2 days.

Saturday run was good with the shuttles and great to see a tonne of new faces and younger riders. Afterwards it was a good old fun with everyone heading into Gympie for solid feed and beverage or two. Thanks Chris for putting on some inspirational DVDs back at the den.

Thanks also to:

1. That nice young lady whose dog kept Shane and boys in the other cabins awake all night effectively draining them of energy for Sunday racing. :D

2. Volunteers from Gravity for keeping us on track and sacrificing their own ride for us twits to race. Luke nice work on the timing board - you held that thing steady all day no matter how much I put dirt on it... :p

3. Racers for good competition. Especially Lindsay who dug deep on the last stage and pegged me down a solid 30secs despite a 1.5km fireroad sprint on flats... :eek:

4. Ian for keeping flowing throughout the day.

5. Pete and everyone else whose turned over the dirt for your sweet trails.

150 racers next year? Easy...

Well done Gravity for a awesome race, and really fun tracks, it was allot of fun, but the climbs were hard, I will definitely be training for the next one.

I've got a problem though, I can not open the results, when I attempt to open the this message comes up; The document “Gravity_MTB_Club_Enduro_DH_Results.xls” could not be opened. The file is not in the right format.
I am using a Mac, can anyone help me out because I really want to see the results.
Thanks again Gravity.

Top day out, loved the flowy down hill runs, but i hate up hill climbs. i'm feeling it today. these tracks are very well built, look foward to a shuttle run day, much more fun going down than going up!!

Thanks for a well organised day out, all who put it together get a big pat on the back from me.!!

Since I have spewing (literally) about not being able to complete, I played around with the results to look at a couple of my mates to see how they went.

But in the results I have done up the positions overall for each stage, so if you want to see how you went for each stage here it is.

As eyes mentioned, the times that we read out at Pressos did have some errors for a variety of reasons, some techincal, others due to riders not crossing the mat. As we said at the start of the day, It was going to be a learning curve for all involved, riders, organisors and timers.

It is only fair to post the correct results here to acknowledge everyones performance and so you know what you need to do to step up next time.
