24hr Solo Nationals

Firstly my apologies for not getting stage 4-7 of Terra Australis to you as yet,
I do however have some very valid reasons,

With a very busy week shortened by Easter & to be totally honest, still feeling far less than great,

Then I proceeded to head to Canberra for the 24hr Solo Nationals over Easter, however due to my health, not to race! to support Kaos & BMC's own, Jac & Jason respectively.

A successful 24 it was for both of them,

With Jason taking out the win in the mens, Picking up his second consecutive National jersey & ticket to Canada for the Worlds,

Canberra's Dan Mackay took out 2nd, pushing Jas all night getting to within a couple minutes around day break, then with the rise of the sun Jas found his second wind, bringing it home,

Queensland's very own Andy Fellows was also still in the hunt until the early hours of the morning, eventually fading & hanging on for 3rd.

Jac finished a very credible 7th in the womens & an excellent result of 2nd in her age group,
It took Jac a while to find her groove, however as darkness fell, Jac got in the zone & rode very consistently all night picking them off 1 by 1, I'm sure her Night Lightning lights gave her an extra bit of confidence too, turning the pitch black Majura Pine forest into day.

Congratulations to both Jas & Jac & huge thanks must go out to Mel & Dave of the Kaos crew for their superb job of support crew for Jac.

Congrates must go out to Jes Douglas for taking out the win over Katrin(current #2 in the world)
& commiserations to Johnny Claxton & Mark Fenner, both DNF for their own reasons, click on there names to hear why in their own words.

Keep an eye out for the final wrap up of the Terra Australis as it was an absolute cracker of an event & I'll do my best to due it justice.

Speaking of great events, the BMC 100 is on again this weekend in the awesome trails of the wombat forest, Woodend, Vic.

So plenty to report on, in the near future.

Live to ride, ride to live,

Troy
