Thanks Hamish. Glad you like it as much as I enjoy writing it – even with all the spelling mistakes!

Love the blog btw. I don’t race but it’s still fun to read about the strategy etc and general topics.

“Pov crits”…Tim perhaps before you leave a comment on this site you should have had a think about the amount of tireless work that the St. Kilda cycling club committee members (and other club committee members) put into making crit racing the success that it is.

Well done to all who finished, and especially to Joel for winning it. I said never again after last year, but your report is inspiring Wade. Even though it was just a “sprint” this year, those hills look mean!

Yep, great report. That attack at Lismore during the 2nd feed stop was a killer. Rolling turns @ 50km/h with some big guys with a full mussette flapping around on your back is a good work out.

“Never again” was definately rolling around my energy depleted brain at around 230km, but for some reason had forgotten all about it after crossing that blue finish line in exhausted elation and am now hungry for next year….our Cycling Australia membership should come with a free visit to a pyschiatrist…..

Good luck at ToB, wish I was going to be there

Some do (not recommended), but the vast majority either pull over to pee, or the more experienced pee off the bike either on a slight downhill to keep speed or get a teammate to push you along with a hand in the back.

I don’t recommend you try this for the first time in a race, something to only do with others around you if you know what you are doing…

I’m still in the hurt house.

Very tough day and I agree – The boys smashed it up through that feed zone. Wasn’t very happy about chasing at max max max for the next hour whilst trying to jam food down my throat.

Great report and love the photo’s Jarrod and Leigh.

You meant “started riding out of SIGHT” not site :-)
Thanks for the article though.

So do the guys in these long races really pee their pants? Ewww. Must get a little uncomfortable in the shoes.

Friends of None, you are moving to B grade?
I didn’t see you on the podium in C, was it the pov performance?

Thanks HouseMouse! Sometimes when I post late at night or first thing in the morning before my coffee I make some horrible mistakes. I’ll go re-read my post today to make sure I haven’t spoiled your compliment!
