The Canberra guys are heading into the comp season with a lot of momentum. We usually hit the Canungra Classic fairly cold because our XC season has not yet when October rolls around. This year has been very different. More on this later.
After the sucess of the last weekend out at Forbes we headed out again with great expectations. We were not disappointed.
Saturday
A task is set. Forbes Airport > Intersection of West Wylong to Forbes road > “Munjal”. 122km.
Vitals: 7700ft base, 1000fpm climbs, big streets and no wind.
An awesome day. I make it in, Nath, Dave and Andrew get very close. All 100+km.
Sunday
A carbon copy of the day before. We head for Cowra the back to Munjal.
The first 50km were easy. Things got tough past Gooloogong. Corwa was covered in a blue hole. We had to take a turn point right in the middle. The next 35km were though. Dave and I flew together the whole way. Climbs were stopping below 3 grand. Paitence get us to Cowra where we both land at the airport.
Forbes looks a little different to when our international friends see it in summer. These conditions are great practice for Canungra.
A huge thanks to Steve once again! The tugmaster’s master! We are forever indebted to you.
