The 4hr Summer Series hosted by WSMTB.





FRS Plus - Bikes at the Basin places 4th overall in the Series.


My great support crew, Donna Swan and myself made our way out to the foot of the Blue Mountains with a young budding sports photographer excited for action.


With some very fast racing over the first two races of the series, this final round was hotting up for the place getters in most categories. Some of the days leading up to the race had been warm and a quick look at the track confirmed the conditions, dry and loose. Turning up at the WSMTB track there was an unusually large line up of registers for this final round. Turns out close to three hundred people wanted some MTB fun on a Sunday, it was a bit like a 8hr race with out all the who-har. Sure there was only one port-a-loo, two registers and a short bit of track before the single track conga, a two lap warm up is all part of the fun.


The track had been cleaned up a little and we again rode the same loop as the previous races of the series. It is a nice six kilometer lap featuring "Max's Bridge" and associated climb to the moto section. The track held up nicely with only a few sections rutting and loosening up.


The racing was fast and fast. Starting from the middle of the pack gave me plenty of work to catch those who lead from the front, that is half the fun of participation. My lap times very consistent, even between rounds. This is due to a nifty support crew and a reliable, comfortable bike.


Happy New Year welcome to 2009!
