I was wrong about the possibility of mud - it was so dry in Canberra, so dusty, and a little bit chilly too. That cold wind whipped off the snowy mountains and right into that pine forest. I have included a few shots of the start of the racing - but I deleted the "oops"one that just had legs and wheels in it.
Congratulations to CORC and Bright Orange Events for putting on such a great race with good facilities too - and to Bright Orange Events and KHS for a great 8hr Series.
I highly recommend you go see "24-Solo"- it was a fantastic insight into the preparation and exertion that goes into competing in one of these 24 Hr events. It also highlights the stark differences between the fully sponsored, supported rider and the one who just gets in there and has a go on limited funds. And the winner is..... well, we all know who won. All those at the premiere were privileged to hear Craig Gordon talk about his experiences in this event - an extraordinary fellow doing what he loves. Thanks for sharing with us Craig.
