    ...AND it was an AWESOME day!! Really enjoyed it and good to catch up with yah'll.
    Right so I can't label photos!!! There were a whole pile of Tracy's first iron man, I think there were only 2 woman in it! And there were 9 after her! Go Tracy!! Can't believe some of my best clearest pictures were you Old Skool!

We wll review this and only get better.

    Yes, we had a few that for one reason or another took the wrong path and I don't think they did this on purpose. It was our fault and we soon remedied any short cuts at the beginning of the second lap.

    It was a huge ask and generally we had 95% positive feed back.

    The next rounds will be easier to follow as there are not so many original criss cross tracks that can confuse folks.

    There will be no short cuts in round two.

    Anyway thanks to all that entered. I'm buggered
    The event was well run, well organised and well planned KTM Boy. I think there will always be those that criticise and complain! Might be better if they just had a page on the website for positive suggestions, rather than complaining!

    Big thanks to Louise, Yoda, Alana, and everyone for the food, lap scoring and everything. Made the day go smoothly. Great having different places for viewing. Made it awesome for people who had friends racing!

    Was Chris Birch yelling? I don’t think so maybe you should learn to ride before you start yelling or beeping your horn at people who are not as fast as you, if you are that good a rider you would be able to pass without any fuss all yelling does is unnerve people and could cause an accident. Remember everyone has paid there entry not just you.

    I'm a bit slower than most (due to age and experience, or lack of the latter LOL!!) mostly they aren't yelling abuse, just that they are there, often you get a thanks as well as they go past!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Id agree with that ever one that i let pass yelled out a thanks and hey if there is room to move over to let them pass i do if not then they gota wait till there is or go bush everyone is racin and most accept that as a rule. Im not going to pull up and stop to let them pass as that can even worse results for both concerned.

    dang im not feeling good.

    Yeah I wish some others would have moved for me when I came up behind them. I ended up taking a couple of dodgy overtaking lines and it paid off luckily.

I can ride and so could the people i past but since you know it all im guessing you must be a pro thats been doing it for years and i must be a poor rider.

    hmmm, dont think you needed to take that quite so personally, but hey.
    It is a valid point - perhaps not delivered in the most pc fashion, personally if i had someone yelling at me it would totally put me off for a moment or two (and as i am what i am i would probably hunt them down in the pits.....) is always good form to recognize others may not be as fast/confidant as you. Not to mention they mite not know the track as well as you do .......ahhhh seeing as they didnt get to put the arrows out and get familiar with the track before raceday........HAH howdya like them beans?
    .
    In saying all of that tho I thought you rocked coming down that big long straight on your back wheel!!!
    Yeah, I was that random chick at the end of the long straight cheering everyone on - thought everyone rocked
