N-Duro 1 its that time of year again. Everyone full of Christmas goodness, and a good chance to burn some of it off. A cool but clear day unfortunately today’s race clashed with a national round but hasn’t affected the field. Still full of the big hitters Dirk, Cabin and Carlos.
We have four of the Avanti Plus her today myself Jamie, Scott and Josh. As usual the pace of the start is full on with Ken Feast taking a flyer on his cyclo-cross bike and I managed to slot in on the back of the first group with Scott and Josh. Managing to hold the first bunch for the first 15minutes by then Dirk had disappeared off the front. I was starting to feel the effects of the last week and a half of towing my son on the trailer bike while on holiday. As it was a constant come on Dad lets go for a ride. Legs were quite heavy but didn’t pay much notice as the tracks in Vegas are so wicked to ride. You just want to keep on hammering. Having a few Arrows moved round wasn’t helping as groups of riders would disappear and then suddenly pop out again in front. as we found out later some locals thought they would have a bit of fun and move a few around. Despite this everyone found there way back onto the trail. By this stage we had all the big climbing behind us and it was time to cut loose down Billy T. Later heading down corners and could feel the heat of a few riders just behind. As it turned out one of those was my team mate Scott.
The last 5km was a full on session after passing Cameron on one of the Gravel Link roads he was on my tail. I was trying to stay off the brakes as much as possible with a few close calls. Made it to the finish line, with less than a minute to Cameron and Scott who were chasing hard.
Good Day for the team as Jamie, Josh, Scott and Myself all had good rides. Managed to Score a 1st in Master’s and Scott and Myself picking up some Fish n Chip money for finishing in the top 10 over all
