Working Week Series Round 1 2007 - Lithgow
Sarah and I drove up to Lithgow and camped at the course to compete in the
first round of the 2007 working week series. We hope to make it to a few more
of the series. The track at Lithgow was a lot of fun, thanks Flynny. Kind of a
mix of Ingledene and Majura Pines. Lots of fast flowy sections, some good
techy bits, fun doubles and other things to jump. We had a ball.
We came 6th in Mixed pairs (out of 18 teams in the category), doing 12 laps,
only 18 minutes behind the third place (Paula Sutton and Jared Needham also
from Canberra), our lap times were good, I was happy with my consistency, even
though I am a little unfit so had no speed I still had good endurance to get
such consitent times, all my laps were pretty much with in a minute of each
other. Sarah also did a fantastic job, riding fast all day and expending all
her energy by the end of the race.
