It was a scorcher at Patetonga today for Round 3 of their summer series. This was the first club day I have done at my home track this season due to being injured at the start of the season or having coaching to get settled on the green bike and as always the track did not disappoint. Even having heaps of water put down the track dried out hard, rutty and fast in the dry heat. I double classed my 85 class and Junior Open today and it showed my usual routine was pretty relaxed over the school holidays… the junk food and not drinking enough water affected me today and I was finding it a hard day at the office, even getting a sunburned nose while riding. I had a fun time and rode cautiously and consistent in all my races as I didn’t want to do myself or my bike any damage in the conditions. I finished 2nd overall in the Under 12 85 class and 5-3 in Junior Open and really wished I hadn’t chosen to ride in my black gear today.
