BMC 100km Classic

BMC 100km Classic was run & won today,

The best 100 km marathon course ever, with 75-80km of
single track & predominantly fast & flowing at that,

It's quite apparent the Woodend wombat trail crew have been very busy,
building new trails obviously designed with the BMC fourstroke 01 & our riding
pleasure in mind,

As I had an absolute ball & the fourstroke just ate the trails alive,

I finished up 2nd in the Veteran class to Benny Randell,
& 16th overall, not too shabby considering the cream of the crop turned up from far & wide to make up 1200 entrants, click on the wombat for results.

Jas picked up 2nd also, to Matt Fleming in the Elite men.

A huge thanks must go out to Andy from Kaos for getting my bike race fit again, after two stage races, with numerous creek crossings,
a couple of solo 6hr Enduros & a few crits, was certainly up for a bit of TLC the Andy way, full strip down & rebuild, the result.......... didn't miss a beat.

My race wheels, nice & light built by the man himself, consisting of STANS 355 rims, DT 240 hubs & some mighty colourful TI spokes, with the Ritchey Zmin tyres were the perfect choice for the tacky single track condition, accelerating especially well out of the tight corners later in the day when the legs were not so fresh.

If your bike is feeling a little sluggish & can't afford a new one, the best performance upgrade you can give your old bike is a nice light wheel set & no one builds them better than Andy at Kaos, so why not pop in & have a chat.

The BMC team were all lucky boys too, receiving our super sleek new Lazer Genisis Helmets & BBB sunnies.

A great day was had by all & if you didn't make it on the day, I highly recommend heading to Woodend.

Live to ride, ride to live,
