12 hours dusk to dawn

How awesome is this... Andy Fellows, currently the world champion in his age group for 24 hour racing & Andrew Bell is not shy of the podium either!

This is just two of the big hitters that will be racing this weekend at the Ay Up Dusk2Dawn 12 hour enduro.

There is a surprising number of solo riders in this years event which is always great to see.

I have my personal goals set for this event. They include a total km goal, nutrition goal & a technical/skills goal.

I am looking forward to getting out onto the dirt again for a race. Too much racing on tar lately ;o)

12 hour Dusk 2 Dawn MTB race in Perth

I will fly to this event given it would take 5 long days to drive there.

New trails, new people & a bike race, sounds like a perfect trip to me already.

In the 3 years I have been racing I have noticed there are event organisers & then there are event organisers. Been to awesome & not so awesome events.

I have exchanged a dozen or so emails with the organiser of this event & I am confident it is going to be an awesome one!

See you roosters & hens there!

Alcoa 12 hour Dusk to Dawn done!

.


Quick one. The track was out to smash me. Little round gravel the size & shape of peas. It was like riding on marbles. I set the single speed up with a 32 x 18. for a couple of hours last night I was in 2nd.

I ended up with 3rd in open mens with about 187 kms. I also won the highest ranked single speeder for the race too :-)

Race report to follow once I get back to Brisbane.

Until next time, smooth flowing lines!
