WORLDS

What a weekend,

Nothing short of huge was the UCI Mtb Worlds event in Canberra over the weekend,

I was lucky enough to experience it first hand,

To some it up if it's ok with our fellow neighbours to pinch a word & phrase, Wickid!!! Choice Bro!

Over the coming days, weeks, months I'm sure you'll see & hear all about it so I'll try to keep it brief with a few of my personal Highlights.

FRIDAY- Running up Cardiac climb(Brutal climb) numerous times with cow bell in hand & cheering at the top of my lungs for Lach, Paulie & Cal in the U23 XC, awesome job fellas 11th, 16th & 18th respectively.

FRIDAY NIGHT- Being track side with a good view of the big screen too, seeing Gravey & Caroline take double Gold in the 4X, the Crowd was & went nuts.

SATURDAY- Joel's local trails in the morning & Seeing Macca in the Elite XC go from 54th on the grid to off the front on the fire road before going up Cardiac & holding 4th possie to the top of the climb,Madman! The crowd again was huge with cow bells, horns, whistles & massive cheers for the riders.

SATURDAY NIGHT- Caught up with Stuart Dorland from 24hrs of Adrenaline & chewed some phat about next years 24hr Worlds(more on that later) then it was Party time with all the XC riders & crew.......Fun times!

SUNDAY- To see tens of thousands of people going ballistic at the men's DH was a sight to be seen.
Oh & Kabush just owned the short track, with Paulie, Ben Hendo & Neil(Before getting it sideways in the loose stuff) putting in strong performances.

TRIALS ran all weekend on various courses, very clever cats.

To wrap it up, great to see the worlds best strut their stuff in all discipline's, for me personally, good to catch up with various industry folk & on a whole really good to see so many people sharing the one common thread,

The love of Riding Bikes!

I'm sure Paulie will have some fun tails to tell too.

Grover has a good take on how the womens & mens XC races went down.


Live to ride, ride to live,
