Belray XC

How'd you get on? did you smash em, or did you get smoked??

Anyone else do it?

Well...yes, the tree huggers kinda got caned. Except for Aiden that is.
Gear failure and the dreaded bot claimed the young guys. In the seniors Luke and Gary came about 20th and 21st I think.
Still a good first outing as they were both on new bikes and they do need to experience different events to further their racing.
Not the sort of track to suit Chris B either. He was nicely relaxed as if on a training ride.

It puts some sort of perspective on BT's speed. First race back and he was awesomely fast. Beat all the top XC riders that NZ(well most of them) has on offer and he's an MX rider with absolutely no racing under his belt for the last year.
Just pure skill.

A step up from the KXF250. 2010 kxf450 so a tad different in the horse power department.

results,
BT won
Adrain Smith about 2 minutes back,
Rory Mead
Karl Power

Chris Birch 8th, passing multi time AMA pro novice champ Craig Brown in the last paddock,

Great Result, I wondered how he'd go fitness wise, 2 minutes on Adrian is damn good.

I was caught up in a pile up at the start... Snapped front guard off, twisted forks, bars and bar clamps, front brake gone. Hit my head hard enough to see flying green dots. Bikes not pretty at the mo. Finished race 2nd in my class. Dont know overall. Gutted, could have done better with a straight bike but shit happens

Thats a good result, the sandpit guys didn't do so well looking at the results.

If you look at the race entrants, it makes for interestin readin.
