KZN Champs.

This weekend saw the team racing KZN champs at Cascades and what a track KZN mtb had put together. Unfortunately I didn't have time to pre ride the course. I have ridden most of the trails in the area and Trav gave me a run down on the layout, so I had a good idea.

The start was nice and fast and Brendon and I slipped off the front early on.

I took the first few laps easy to get a good idea of the track, Brendon set a good pace and we opened a sizeable lead by the end of the lap.

I sat in for the next two laps waiting for the right time to make my move. I could see I was faster on the climbs and half way through lap three of seven I made my move, on one of the harder climbs on course. I opened a gap which gap grew lap by lap. By the end I had opened a 1min 30 lead.

I am really happy with my ride, my mind is fresh and I'm ready for another big block of training.
