Race Report

Early-bird series—2026 #6.

This should be ATTA ride #200 for Matt Burton, fifty seven of them on the Lovekin Sausage, three of those at the final event of the 2015 Early-bird series. See https://atta88.au/db/005.php?page=event&rideid=eb7_15. Check it out, there were a couple of other noteworthy results that day; it was also his birthday, incidentally.
It's been a sixteen year journey worth following—thank you, Matt! …looking forward to plenty more yet to come.

Jarrad has finished, matching his previous best (±0.1sec) and Scotty McDowell has been lapping with second fastest times and now sits there in the finish rankings—a bit of a challenge to Campbell, yet to start?
It looks like conditions there in the park are fairly good: a nice 21° and not-too-bad SSE instead of the more direct easterly that would be making the trip up the slope to the finish line that little bit tougher .
I just heard that MattB has been scratched, tapering for the ride in the Nationals on Thursday. A number of the regular women riders are also missing today so it's a short points offering but Ann Brinkamp has grabbed the opportunity to take the biggest share of the offering, giving her the second largest series total for her five completed rides. The five best rides for a rider has been the criterion for the BIP series previously. Has anybody at all been following the progress of this aspect of the Early-bird rides? The proportion of female riders at the events has dropped quite markedly. But I am possibly only talking to myself here anyway. So it goes ….
Ross Forzatti, a late entry yesterday, made his presence known after a gap of eleven years and showed he hasn't been idle in that time, topping the PB list with a 4km/h improvement in speed. The PB table doesn't differentiate between the use of a TT or road-bike setup so Oli (or to use his more formal appellation, Oliver) Stenning, therefore missed out on making the PB list but brought home a very worthy course record on his roadie. This was his third-fastest ride on the course in eleven rides, the second time in three rides this series that he's bettered the previous course record.
