A lot of photographers on course yesterday, any of them publishing photos?
Here are some photo's taken at the start and end of the race, not many and only quick snapshots but you might find yourself in this album.

Well - back from Stromlo, car unpacked, washing on, and pizza dinner ordered.
After these high priority jobs, my next 'most important' thing is to thank Craig Bayliss from Enduro Pulse for doing what most of us would consider unthinkable....
I was stuck into my racing in the mixed pairs, and really enjoying my day. Craig was camped next to us, and I saw him with St.Johns around him - he'd had an 'off' and called it a day.
About a lap later, my bike developed a problem that could not be fixed on the day, and it looked like my (and my partners) race was up.
Craig lent me his carbon yeti ASR.
Thanks to Alchemist for the tasty Sassy Red at the finish, I owe you one in late Oct!
Thanks mate, no problems. Turns out my 'off' is actually a fractured ankle and fractured thumb. Moon boot goes on tomorrow and thumb splint will mean I'll just see the WSC 24 from the pits now...
Commiserations Craig, have no fear though - the parrots are already speculating it'll be back down under for 2013
Where did you come a-cropper?

We had a few reports of someone down in that section (Troy Glennan let us know at the end of his lap for example), but you must have gotten going by the time Joe got there.I had some great handlebar/tree action on that rocky bit towards the end of the descent (just before you cross the road) and shattered myself on the rocks - by all rights it should have put me out of the race
The "B line" was probably quicker too

If I've got the right section, there's an A and B line there, but almost nobody sees the B line.
