canberra, beauty,sydney,city!!!

...no post for a long time. im not to keen to post anything unless of a good result. since thredbo i have done heaps. kept up the training, more traveling, and more fun. did a road trip with some friends to Canberra for the national champs! i went with trevwah, lincolin, toby, and oscar. it was a good trip. Canberra is a cool place but the track lacked a lot. lots of peadeling, not a real mountain, and just a different place in general. Canberra is australias capitol. all the government stuff is located there. making it real different. the city itself has lots of regulations. no fences around houses, no powerlines on the street, and the streets are very clean and dont look real. but the canberra course was ok to ride. but sucked to race. i ended up 22nd there. not good.
from there i got dropped off with juzzo and preparred for the upcoming national race at mt beauty. thats a real DH course. super fun and real steep aswell. was riding ok during that weekend and ended up 16th overall. pretty fun day. forgot to mention its was super muddy for qualis but got pretty tacky for finals.
then i went home after that and continued to train. the next weekend was mt baw baw state race. another real muddy course, but really good for a state race. i was riding really smooth and good. on race day i put mud tires on and learned to ride those. during finals i clipped my hand on the starting timer and that seperated me from getting payed. pretty bummed. i ended up 4th and was less than 2 seconds off the winner. thats racing and thats why i love it!!!!
and i just recently got home from Bryn Atkinsons house. i stayed there for 2 weeks with him and his brother. fun stuff. learned a lot and got in good shape. he lives in the blue mountains right near Sydney. real good riding up there.
and now im home after 2 days spent in the city with an awesome DH girl, Jenna. We did a day of push runs somewhere near here called red hill. cool stuff and pretty fun course. Jenna was learning to jump and did just that,jumping nearly 2 bike lengths. then the day after that we took a train to Trevwah's house and went to Phillip island and spent a day on the beach. got to body board a bit and experience some Aussie surf! was really windy and cold but the water was nice and warm and waves wern't to bad, just a bit choppy. then chilled with Jenna made dinner and went home the morning after... finally i am home and get a bit of sleep before im off to somewhere else!!!
