We had a terrific time at Forrest - the weather was kind to us, there was a few showers so the tracks were quite slippery but managable. The race was around Marriners Track which is quite technical with fabulous berms and challenging drop offs. Leigh and Ashley (12 yo) went really well - the results were: 7 laps in 6:01:04 with an overall placing of 47 -that is pretty good out of a field of 56 - Ashley was the youngest competitor. Steven and Andrew completed 8 laps in 6:21:48 for an overall placing of 38.
We stayed Sunday night in Forrest and it rained all night - drove to Apollo Bay the next day for breakfast then a lovely drive on the Great Ocean Road back to Melbourne.
The next event is Sunday July 26 - 2009 Chase the Sun- Round 3. This is a 6 hour MTB race at Lysterfield including the Commonwealth Games Track. Once again Ashley and Leigh are competing - this time their team is called Stadium Signs. Steven is booked in but we are not sure if he is riding solo or not.
Here at work we are flat out getting parapet signs ready for the MCG football, plus 3 vehicles and lots of bits and pieces.
cheers
