I spend a lot of time riding my trail bike around Codgers so I was pretty excited to have a race there and the track they ran was one I have spent a fair bit of time on while I was setting up my new Fox 36's and RP23 last month. With the bulk of it being descending with a few fast flowing flat sections and only one real climb it made for a perfect track for the downhill guys.
I knew the track well but I also knew there would be some good competition in the form of New Zealand's reigning unofficial super d champion Kurt Lancaster who has won the last two big super d races around NZ and some other quick local guys who have been up getting plenty of practice in!
I got one practice in on the course in morning and it was pretty loose so I decided to tone things back a little bit for my race run. I had a couple of small mistakes but managed to keep it clean and get some good sprinting in.
I ended up posting a time of 8.50 which put me 6 seconds ahead of Kurt in 2nd and nearly 25 seconds ahead of 3rd!
The race was a lot of fun so hopefully some more stuff like this catches on and starts popping up around the country!
Thanks again to my awesome sponsors who make this all possible!
