  With the temperature forecast to be 39Degrees C today it was a very nervous wait for the PACC CX Crew to see if we would run the full distance for tonight’s events with most events likely to be shortened to reduce the risk of riders and officials being affected by the heat. But with a cool(ish) change hitting the city at 4pm, with a few drops of rain were were back in business with overcast conditions and a temperature of ‘only’ 31C by sign-on at 5pm. Special thanks to Marky ‘Sheepstations’ Gregory, Carly ‘Barky’ Light, Tim ‘T Mac’ McEvoy and Gemma ‘G-Train’ Kernich who set up the course from 3pm in the hottest part of the day – a little understaffed in the volunteer side of things today but who would want to walk around in the blazing heat knocking in stakes and tangling with tape? T Mac had come up with a devilishly technical course that took riders twice up (and down) MULCH HELL, through a sand pit, deep mulch corners, and a barrier section with a sandy remount – it was
  going to be a course for the skilled tonight and it didn’t disappoint the good crowd of hecklers who lined Mulch Hill.

  The first race of the night was the Little Crossers children heading out at their scheduled time of 5:55pm which caught a few other kids out who were a bit late for sign-on. The kids with regular bicycles undertook two laps of a modified course which took off some distance but didn’t remove any of the technical sections so Oliver W (10yo), Jack B (7), Jessica L(11) and Gabriel W (8) headed out for two laps on normal bicycles, while Cohen (4) and Owen (5) tacked one lap on trainer bikes. Oliver was making his return to racing after breaking his arm in November and he was keen to return on good form. Four trips up Mulch Hill didn’t slow him down and he finished just ahead of new PACC rider Jack with Jessica and Oliver’s younger brother Gabriel not very far behind. Cohen found the mulch hill ‘steep’ on the strider bike and finished in style with another new rider Owen cruising in not far behind. Some excellent finish-line skids were executed by some of the juniors in order t
  o receive the customary lolly hand ups.

  The Open (non-cx) race was next event off, with a much depleted field of only 16 riders lining up including only two women. Sadly the Open race also had the worst race number placement and pinning quality of any race this season, with several riders’ numbers simply impossible to read being not pinned at all on several corners, or positioned so they folded in half as their jerseys rode-up, while other riders took the incorrect numbers at sign-on creating havoc with the lap scoring system. So the results aren’t a great reflection of Port Adelaide CC’s Shaun Lewis’ absolute dominance as he rode away from the rest of the field, while second place rider Nigel Willoughby’s number was not recorded at all until after he had finished, just ahead of interstate visitor Geoffrey Schling (Albury Wodonga) in third. The women’s division was a bit of a scrap between the Port Adelaide CC women at the rear of the field, with rider Lee-Anne ‘Wanahuckalugie’ Fleming calling for a puffer mid ra
  ce but still lapping consistently faster than second place Virginia Riches. (ASADA are after you Lee-Anne ;-)
