I'm intending on riding this one. Its forecast to rain tomorrow so I don't know what will happen to this race. I don't really want to race at Heffron in the rain. I'll be riding C grade and am just going tot enter on the day.

How did christian and the other DHBC riders go?

[christian]

Wasn't a bad race, there were a few of us in C grade, Mike, Craig, Ian and myself. In D grade we had Chidgey and David Lamb. Pace wasn't as high as last year, the average was 40.6km/h were as last year it was 42km/h. The race was won by computer who was riding B grade. Not sure about the other places.

[mikesbytes]

Race was excellent. 100% dry, almost no wind.

15 laps D vs C vs B graded handicap. Big field.

C Grade;
- Wheeler
- Christian
- Ian Decker
- Mikesbytes

D Grade;
- Michael Ch
- David Lamb

Early on Christian was working near the front while Wheeler and I were sitting in. Ian had a lap out for mechanicals and rejoined. We caught D grade pretty quickly and some of them including Chidgey jumped over. Towards the end it was begining to look like C might stay clear of A and Chidgey and myself moved up to the front, but then Computer who had broken away from B went thru and none of us were able to catch his wheel. Chidgey, Christian and I finished mid pack, Cameron reckoned I was about 15th, but there was no room to sprint and I rolled over the line at 54kph where we could of gone a lot faster. Christian recorded the average speed at 40.6kph.
