6 Hours in the Saddle Beechworth April 2008
Categories: 2008 Events | April 6th, 2008 | by Kathie | no comments
Beautiful weather, no frost although cool in the morning. Over 220 riders on the track at any time they’ve told us. Very long prologue start – Glenn probably wonders why he volunteered to go first!
First rider did 27.34mins for the first lap which set the scene for the day.
It was a really lovely day – the guys did great, all three of them completed 3 laps each with no mishaps, although poor John did suffer from cramp towards the end there – the last picture tells the story!
And just so the guys could be kept safe, it was me that took a fall on the day – and I wasn’t even on a bike! But apart from a few scratches no harm done and my camera even came through it safely so I could share these pictures with you!
Overall the guys did well, coming 11th out of 18 in their category – John’s last lap, even with cramps, did make a difference to their end result, so well done John! They finished 89 out of 220 overall. Not bad since they began this journey just to have fun – they’re no longer on the bottom after a couple of years of participating.
