Tailwind Promotions - Inferno 6 hour 1st & 29th March

At the first inferno 6 hour series I teamed up with Ross to compete in a two man open team. The first two laps weren't the best way to start the race. Ross had a good start but flatted on the quick fire trail towards the end of the lap, luckly we didn't lose to much time. Through interchange he came and off I went, I also flatted on the fire trail but with only 2.5kms to go and being a light weight whippet I decided it would be quicker to continue riding than changing the tube. We came back from 3rd or 4th position to win our catagory and to win overall being the only team to get 13 laps.

Round two Ross and I were teamed up together again but decided to make it a 3 man team picking up Allan the night before. We were up against Redback Cycles who are very quick and kept us fighting all day. They didn't have the best start due to a flat but it wasn't long before they were back in our faces. It was back to back for a few laps and they slowly crept away, last lap they were 5 mins up on us and they made it in for another 20sec's before the 6 hour time limit. Leaving us a lap down, I was the weak link in the team being the youngest and slowest out of both teams. The track was awesome but was pretty rocky and left me wishing I was on a dually like my team mates. It was my first race and proper singletrack ride on the new bike. Had to play with the suspenison because I hadn't adjusted it correctly.It felt a lot better than the Jamis! We ended up with 2nd place and we were happy with that!
