It was a great weekend away and cycling was pretty good as well
The hilly course on saturday did the damage early to some of us :'( (me mostly)
Kane was the unluckiest rider with a puncture after only 1km of racing
The bonus to finishing early meant we got to see some great racing from the Coast boys with Stapo and HeyPhil taking the medals and Chicken spending a lot of time on his own but finishing in great form.
Sunday was another smashfest with the pace on early in all the races, the great crit circuit was quickly forgotten while trying to take the sharp left from the back of the pack only to look up and see the front of the bunch already over the top and heading down the back straight
Chicken was the least lucky rider of the coasties when riding strong in the lead group a few riders went down right in front of him with only a couple of laps to go which put him off the back of the bunch
Brad showed his experience by 'coaching' Stumpy to stay and help Gadget in the 1's after he was dropped from the front group of 2's. (Stumpy was instantly happy to help
)
Kane hung onto the chase group in the 1/2's and had a great result for us young-un's
The Hugg's clan begrudgingly headed home on Sunday arvo knowing that most of the crew were heading back to the caravan park to have a barby and hit the cans- well deserved by all!
For me, cycling was the winner......
ps, thanks for the lift up on friday Brad
