~ Bicyclemania Ride ~ 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
Cragg. 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
