SA Champs - Pretoria

Every dog has his day.

Puncture on lap 2 cost me the race. I bombed my tubeless tire which actually held out, I wasn't sure if it would hold out for the race so decided to get my spare wheel in the tech zone. All the antics cost me around 1min30.

Kevin won the event, a mere 45sec ahead of me and Johan van Zyl snuck home in 2nd. Not a bad result for me, always nice to be on the podium at National Champs.

My new GT carbon i-drive goes like a bomb. Sucks up all the rocks and was awesome to race, such control - I think i am sold on full suspension!

Karkloof Classic

The form is coming back. I felt good out the gate, decided not to chase Pearton for the first sprint prime. Bad move in hindsight as I lost my edge after 20km. Falling off the pace, I passed Mannie over the top of Lebanon and rode steadily for the last 30km. The legs don't have enough racing in them yet but watch this space !

7th overall.

Karkloof Night Race - 20km

Broke my light whilst in the lead with Brandon and Kevin on my wheel. KAK. Finished 8th? with the help of some good 'ol duct tape.
