JET BLACK 24hr

 
Jet Black 24hr held at MT Annan. It was extremely hot, 42deg at the start on Saturday. I raced this in a team of 3, with Mick Crummy (
mcrummy.blogspot.com.au), and Kurt Menzies. The team was thrown together in the last week before the race, and it was planned to be a team of four but on the morning of the race we were reduced down to a team of 3.

Starting to cool down at night but still very hot.

The team had a really good race with only one flat tyre for the whole race, and no other mechanicals. From the start of the race we slowly increased our lead over the other teams of 3, we managed to get 5 laps up on second place. We had some good motivation from our neighbours next to us. The Belconnen Onya Bike boy, in a team of six. They cleaned up with over all victory, with 55 laps.
This was the first time myself and Crummy had the chance to finish a 24hr race in first place without completing all 24hrs, so we took the opportunity to finish early as the day was heating up.
So we finished with 44 laps, 352km covered, and 7964m climbed.
