Chase The Sun 4

Well we had the final chase the sun yesterday. A fair course that avoided alot of the wet muddy areas at Lysterfeild. The course was a 14km loop with about 65% climbing and a circuit of the commonwealth games course. Didnt mind the course apart from the major climb on the CG course...had a few mental issues with it. The fire break climb was a bit spongey and slick in places and sucked the speed right out of you. We ended up with 9 laps with respectable times for 2 blokes on single speeds!
Now team Onespeed Only did its self proud. 16th out of 55 teams yesterday. Overall for the series we pulled out 6th overall in our catergory unofficially (if you include our jaunt out as the good, bad and ugly as we got a 2nd place at the first CTS and combined the points).
The 29er revolution is starting to really kick off here in melburn..... seen plenty of 29er's at the last couple of enduros....good to see them getting out there. I have to get myself one of them suckers!
Back to reality today with my return to work after 3 weeks off. 3 days back at the coal face and then back to Falls Creek for the Birkiebinder race.
