The hardest downhill event on the race calendar was held last Sunday at Beerburrum. Six hours of continuous runs started at 9am and finished at 3pm passing through the peak heat of the day. Bikeology had six riders up for the challenge and did not dissapoint with not only completing the the full six hours but also placing highly in each category. The under 17 riders were only permitted to ride for three hours and finished at 12 o'clock midday. This turned out to be one of the most exciting parts of the day with Bikeology rider Chris Dalziel taken out 3rd place with only 5 seconds separating Chris from 1st place. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place completed exactly the same amount of runs, each completing 27 in the three hours. Just before the clock clicked over to the 3hr mark it was edge of your seat excitement as all three riders just scrapped past the cut off time to allow them to get one last run for the day. What a great result for Chris and the other two riders.
Solo women category was another great race with Bikeology rider Simone Crawford taking out 2nd position. Simone rode a great race from start to finish and always had a smile on her face. I remember Simone telling me she was having more fun the further into the race she got. A great testimony to how mentally and physically fit Simone is.
Solo male category was exciting with four of our riders competing. It was the first 6hr downhill endurace race for all four guys as it was for Simone and Chris. As the race unfolded the guys settled into their own pace and never stopped pushing until the end. 50 riders entered the race with Laurie and Shane finishing a great 17th and 15th respectively. Only 2 laps separating then throughout the six hours. Laurie completing 42 and Shane 44 laps. Sam and Jarrah finished after completing 53 and 58 laps to take both of them onto the podium with Sam finishing 8th and Jarrah 6th overall. I would also like to thank Chris's mum Sherron who helped me with my hydration and nutrition plan that I had for each rider. Sherron changed her plans for leaving because she couldn't wait to see how our guys finished. Sherron is possibly the best sandwich maker on the planet and I am sure the guys will agree. Overall a great result for the team and each rider and I am proud of each rider for the huge effort it requires to stay focused and finish such a hard event which passed through the peak day heat, which caused many riders to pull out due to sheer physical and heat exertion. A great event that was run very well by the DRCC MTBA club and Ashgrove cycles.
