    I was trying to find the words to describe it but they elude me.... HARD is a good one Grovel is another.... hmmm... Shot gun start on a wet sloppy mx track out of the slopp and on to the gravel road then back into the bush.. Oh dear what have i commited to???? The first hill was long and greasy with big bike and water ruts i found my way to the bottom in the most ungraceful of fashions but i got there. It was a toss up really were the uphills worse than the downs??!!!! Long relentless hills and deep unforgiving mud. Wet,cold,sweating,swearing, kicking,yelling and general tantrum throwing were to be seen all around the coarse and that was just me! the following statment will make some cringe and others think im lieing.... Riverhead is the Dome"s baby sister!!!! This place knows how to make you suffer and question your sanity!!! The track was brilliant and would have been fast if it was summer and dry but it wasnt... Neilds took out twoman expert's followed by Brown/Fuller, Brad Wyatt took out ironman followed by myself( god knows how).. All and all an awesome day and ill go again..It was hard unforgiving and challenging something we need more of.. Damon commented to me it was the hardest thing he's done this year.. Hats off to Rmcc they did the Dome proud!... Any questions?

    Did the teams have to use one bike, or could you use two bikes?
