FIRST! at the Australian National Mountain Bike Championships

Woohoo! I'm a national champion! OK - I'll admit I had no competition in my Masters Women class at the Australian National Championships on the Australia Day long weekend at Mt Stromlo in Canberra, but I well and truly earned my title! I have the bruises to prove it - lots and lots of them! My time was quite respectable considering I had a big crash and couldn't find my bike for a few seconds as it had catapulted up a bank on the side of the track about 5 metres away from where I landed. Lots of Tassie friends were there riding too and it was great to hang out with them, and with Emmaline Ragot - a top pro rider from France who won the Elite Womens race. I have a nice shiny gold medal to take home as a holiday souvineer! Hallelujah!

FUN!!! AT MT BULLER

Soooo much FUN!!! 2 full days of flying down the Abom track was fun, fun, fun!!















Had a few goes at riding the International track too, but that has some real hard sections - have to find some more faith to ride all of that one! I held back while riding it as I didn't want to fall and fracture anything right at the start of our mountain biking holiday. After all, what would be the point of a mountain biking holiday if I can't mountain bike for all of it, ay?

Looking forward to 3 days of riding Thredbo starting tomorrow. Can't wait!!Yippee!!

FLOATING

Floating across Bass Strait on the way to Melbourne tomorrow night!! - on the way to 3 weeks of fast fun on downhill mountain tracks on the mainland - yay!! Hope I don't fry as it is going to be hot hot in Melbourne, but hopefully will be cooler in the early mornings and up in the highlands when we ride there. Looking forward to meeting up with friends in Canberra and Mt Buller. Should be fun fun fun!! Have to remember to use my faith to keep the fear away on the frightening tracks and just go fast, be safe and have fun!!
FAITH - FAST - FUN!!
