BMORC 6 + 6 male 3's 4th place

Just a few quick points from the weekends race;
- Team BMORC re-grouped for the first time in 12 months, around the anniversary of one member nearly dying in a car accident.
- I got sick on the Thursday before the race and struggled all weekend but still managed some OK times. I popped a Sudafed each day so I guess I'm a drug cheat according to the new banned list.
- The solo 24 riders were sent off first which made our opening lap interesting to say the least - at least I got to chat to Gazza most of the way around.
- Self seeding still doesn't work - if you're fastest lap is over 32min then you have no place standing on the front line in your fluoro jersey (you know who you are.....).
- Team BMORC were battling Ride Ettalong (funnily enough, the team that came 2nd to the team I was on for the Mont...) for 3rd place from the get go with Kidsons racing leading and Gazza's BH team, featuring Gordo, holding a close 2nd. We swapped position with Ettalong numerous times throughout the race with myself lapping slightly faster than their 1st rider but their 2nd rider lapping slightly faster than ours.
- We were looking good after our first round of laps on the Sunday after I managed a sub 30 lap and our other 2 riders put in their fastest laps but Ettalong managed to claw our lead back and take us out in the end.
- Backing up on the Sunday after smashing your legs on the Saturday really hurts - I think this race hurt more than any race I've done before.
- Those solo riders are insane.
- Props to Big Steve for battling through a tough one.
