    yeh you can see that lookin at the results although there was only 1 in front of me who hadnt done wood hill.
    if you take out those guys as they most likly wont do next round that moves you up a fair bit which is a shame on the point side of things.

    I enjoyed that track, it was a bit shorter than last year though, but you got to love all those jumps.

    I'm a little bit dissapointed with my result though, had a terrible start and made a couple of mistakes that cost me, but shit happens, will have to go harder next round.

    Speaking of the next round anyone got any info on it, i've never ridden there and I don't even know where it is, might go down on the friday night and sleep in the car.

    Cheers for the offer, my mate from Thames will be coming as well so we will make a plan closer to the time, I was looking on google maps and it says its near a 5 hour drive, so we will defiantely have to go down on the friday.

    I'm looking forward to it already.

    That track just sucked

    This course is just the same as it has been for the last couple of years. In essence its 16k of MX track and all the locals from the shire whom ride this area 20 x times a year come out to have a blast. Nothing wrong with that but they are purely MX riders and this track is just a MX track. There was maybe 200mtrs of single track a slightly bumpy down hill.

    So the man with the biggest gonades won not the man with the skill factor.

    It would have been nice if for the $55 the organisers had done some work and put in some new pieces.

    I won't be doing this next year unless it rains and some sense of skill factor is required. I mean since when does a local Greece ISDE 2008 silver medal winner enter into clubmens. The winner of the Woodhill round whom is a true clubby rider teatering on expert came 20th.

    Yes, it hammered me.
    Went down hard on lap one, due to the dust, and never really recoverd then boiled the rear brake fluid and lost all rear brake before the end of the first lap, so decieded to save mind and body and pulled out, wont be going back any time soon.

    In a race single track is a pain in the arse, you just get stuck behind people with no where to pass, the first lap at the woodhil round was just a big train of bikes going through the trees.
