Race Report

mutter, mutter; today was not easy. It was nice and calm before the start but fairly soon a hot NE was blowing across/down Hopeland Rd. Apparently it was also calm at the turn at the far end of Hopeland Rd (except for two riders who got themselves entangled). It was notable that quite a number of riders had not spend much time checking the course map and directions; maybe they won't read this either, but we do need to reiterate that it IS the responsibility of riders to know where they are going and it usually comes as a welcome sight, the marshals at the southern end of the course. Anyway, the out and back times for the two long legs of Hopeland Road provide clear evidence of the effect of the wind and the heat today.

Well done Stu, not for getting around the course in a bloody quick time but for doing it with your wrist in a splint–he'd had sugery to reattach a few bits to his thumb just over a week ago. Still it seemed that once he'd got started, the splint was no great inconvenience. He also made it seem that the return trip was not too hard: just a two minute difference; even the second fastest and course record-holder, Big Matt Illingworth had a 4min difference. And Colin Rose made it an almost–five–minute difference. Perhaps he was just saving himself a bit for the next phase of his morning's work: a ride on his road bike.

Michelle McLintock was the fastest of the girls ahead of Rachel Wales and Alison Ramm. Alison is still enjoying her return to the flatlands, if not the conditions she gets to ride them in. But it IS summer. There was, therefore, special kudos earned by riders who achieved PBs today: all four of them with 'bests' by quite big chunks!

Steff VanA got to her morning's ride in two installments: she went down to the turn to help Magnus Rudisele marshal; Iain MacLennan looked after the turn into Hopeland from Karnup and Chris Reid, the turn into Karnup from Punrak. Cathi Dixon looked after the turn into and out from the carpark. Lorraine was our starter and Wanda Jansen and Geraldine James took care of the desk. Rick Churchill and Kim VanA spent a few hours setting up and taking down the course again—not an inconsiderable task. Thanks to you all!
