TEAM BNT - DELXC Flow 6 hour

Sooo first of all, I haven't been blogging much because I've been busy. So what's a better way to start blogging again with my first race in a while..

Mad Mike, Rooster, Tony, Leigh? and everyone else involved.. THANKS so much. That was such an enjoyable event and the free feed/drink went down as a treat.
NO bad comments about this race. Mt Perry and DELXC Flow 6 Hour (run by Grindin Gear'z) are already ticked for next season!


Tazy and our set up

Now to my epic report.I was in a two man team with Tazy. Team BNT (Bradley n Taylor). Tazy had a good start until his chain decided to eat his cassette and spokes which resulted with a nice run back to the start line so I had to restart the race from dead last. We were dead last =[. Taylor was annoyed but we kept positive. All was going okay until the 4th lap when a poor guy had a bad crash who busted his nose and leg. Tazy helped him but came in with a 34 Min lap. We were glad the guy was okay - so we weren't worried about the time lost (it's not worlds yet, safety first!). Again we were near last..

Taylor smashing it.

I was pumping pretty consistent 20 min laps and Tazy with 21min's. The results showed 7th place! So we made the goal to get 5th. A few laps after and we were 6th, than 4th. Than on my way down rollercoaster.. piizzzzzzzzzzz FLAT. I kept riding on the flat tyre and got Tazy off.

We were talking to Mad Mike about how we'd wish we didn't have any troubles until he mentioned that if you helped a injuried person the time can be taken off! So he got the race organiser and the injuried man to sort out how long it took and worked out an average lap times than took off the time extra, Tazy was doing consistent 21 mins laps and took 34mins for the lap. So 12mins was taken off, which meant we weren't to far behind 3rd.

Me focused

Mad Mike told the top 4 teams what had happened. For the riders weren't happy sitting in third with us close behind, I passed them before the time was taken off though so either way it didn't matter. Hammering on we still pumped out 20/21min laps and we managed to tie second with Chain Gang (Ross and Stu).

Diclan being normally un-cool

Congrauts to Cam and Chris - It would of been a very tight and exciting race if all went smoothly!! In the pairs men there was a Chain Gang jeresy on every podium place!! AARON - YOU ARE A MACHINE, congrauts on your win. Declan - your a D**K but your okay i guess! Tazy - mad team mate, thanks for having me and working so well together! Everyone I saw, it was good catching up.


Till next time yeooowwww
