boo-yah!
so we left newie in the arvo, got to the mountains and slept in a hut in blackheath with the storm hitting hard on the tin roof i didn't get much sleep, even after a torch light good meal of pasta, capsicum (peppers), tuna and sauce. we were up before dawn and headed to the race, grabbing a quick and healthy maccas brekkie on da way (nothing else open!!! even bakeries...). signed up as "cranky brothers" and got ready to crank!
adam and i did 2 laps at a time, giving the other more time to rest and recover. due to wet weather i had heaps of troubles, eventually twisting my chain in the second lap. i started to run it but ralised i had tools to fix it.
we were coming about 8th half way through the day, which we were happy with as the first 5 teams were sponsored or pros (even team trek japan was there). we kept up good times during the day and after 6 hours and a insanely wet lap teh race was called a day due to hail warnings the size of yer fist! no one complained too much cause most were wet, cold and tired (especially cause of the muddy sticky conditions). so the first race was great! good team effort and good time.
go cranky bros!!
