G'day rotorburners, here's my first post.
Thanks to all involved in establishing the Garapine trails, staging and assisting with this event and posting the video clips.
I was the old fart having a crack and was handed a lesson in mtb!
After a great year or two on the bike with podiums in category for Epic 08, Tre-x 08-09 short course series, Bribie Multi-sport and the Dirty Duo, I thought it was time to push the envelope and try something different- result: 18th in category, near to last overall and missing some skin (but chicks dig scars, don't they?). I had Jas Blackmore then Pete Wilson following so they swallowed me up (and in high flying style) well before the end of Test 1.
I had a ball and as usual for mtb events, the atmosphere and camaraderie were great. I hardly knew anyone- a different crowd from my usual events!- but was made very welcome. Thanks again.
