SUNDAY, SO ITS ANOTHER EVENTS DAY

Chiefy was at the Prem1er
mountain bike series event at
Sherwood Pines for this 6hr enduro on
the specially designed course created by
race legend Nicky Craig. The weather was
hot and dry, it would be a tough test on
this fast rolling course. The bike tag
tested and working, it's off to the
start line for the 10am kick-off.
Out of the village arena and onto a
fire-road drag, then into the
single-track sections. The course was
well laid out, it took the riders from
one end of the forest to the other a
total of 4 times per lap maximizing the
single-tracks and roller-coaster dips,
not to mention the narrow ridge with all
the tree roots. Chiefy set off and put
in 3 laps of this 9.5 miles course
before he stopped and had a rest,
camel-back full and off he went for
another 4 laps. Chiefy had a quick rest
every time he came back into the
start/finish arena, so he timed it to go
out on his last lap 6mins before the
cut-off time. At the end of the race the
prizes were handed out and everybody was
chilling out or burning up.
It's a
clean get-away
