| Second time I've raced while still with an illegal blood alchohol reading. Last was a crit at Dairy Flat. This one a hilly road race out at Tidbinbilla post Tom/Em wedding with 4 hours sleep.
Stayed at the back for 15km catching up on some sleep. Neil Skipper attacked on a hill, I followed it up and we were down to four A graders left.
Started to work a bit harder on hills an in between, testing Rob?? and Gary Scheld out on the hills. We all looked to be about the same level. After several half breaks I decided to rst up and put it to them in the tracking station.
As planned I ramped it up on the first climb in the tracking station, Gary Scheld was first to crack. We regrouped again. At the dishes turn I was going to launch from the back, but two riders covered the center line on the road waiting. No surprises there.
We played cat and mouse all the way home. I grabbed Neil's wheel and stayed there. Thought I had 2nd place wrapped up. Maybe a lucky win. Rob?? launched 400m from the finish, Gary let him go. I just looked at Neil, it was either settle for 3rd (Gary was off the back) or drag Neil up there. I took up the chase leading Neil out. neil counter launched and grabbed Rob?? on the line. |

| Yes end of an era. Beautiful, Bella and I joined the Nandies, Em, Jase and Pippa for a jog/dog socialising fest among the gum trees. Not as many red cards as I imagined.
All I can say is that Bella hasn't stopped drinking water since yesterdays effort and when she wasn't drinking she was horizontal on the carpet plush.
Farewell Cook. We will return as guests. Thanx for hosting us for six wonderful years. |
