South Waikato MCC used to hold an annual Queens Birthday one day event in time gone by and this year they decided to bring it back to see how support it’d have. It was a good day. Only 3 degrees as we set up which was a bit hard on the fingers and because there had been so much rain leading up to today there were some big cold puddles around the track. Tokoroa’s track team had done a great job of prep and layout. The 65s were riding the standard track with the whoops and the 85s to 450s were riding s lightly different track with a new step up instead of the whoops. I was riding in 65 and 85 classes again today so got to try out both tracks, I preferred the whoops because the step up was a little bit big to clear on my little wheels so I kept bouncing over it. I went 1-1-2 for first overall in the 9-11 65s and 5-7-5 for fifth overall in the 8-11 85s. I was pretty happy getting up on the top step of the podium today, I have been putting so much effort into my training that it felt good to get this reward.
