PODIUM BABY!!!!!!



First proper OO XC event. Can officially say I am a BIG fan of XC vs Enduro racing. Enterred in the Vet C class as this is my first year trying hand at racing. Had aboslutley NO idea how I was placing as I was just out for a ride. Figured I'd get 3 laps in of a 13 k loop which would leave me with enough gas to complete. Crazy thing is that after 3 laps...there was no indicator race was done so...quick decision to fuel up (luckily the pops was at fuel station with the can) and head back out. Seems, after looking at gopro footage I was in third place for most of the race and actually battled for 1st on the last lap RIGHT TO THE WIRE. So...the little Husky CR 144 was the perfect rig. NEXT year...a bigger committment for more OO events.

Plan...enjoy rest of summer and get a few rips in after return from NB. A lttle taste of completing my third lap, quick fuel and hammering out a final lap with a fairly clear path: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsObRwwwxXc
