Despite Wellington putting on one of its best storms, the
weather and the tracks held up pretty well for the whole day.
This year I was in a team with Dylan Reid and
Maxwell Wickens, and it was a very fun day out. The atmosphere of the day was
amazing, as always, with lots of different people there that I knew and getting to meet
some new faces- namely the trackie/ roadie Izy Alloway.
By the end of the day the three of us (me, Dylan and Max) clocked
up 14 laps taking 2nd place
in the mixed team category, with Team Cowbell Factory Racing took up 1st
with a crazy 17 laps ( they won the day).
One of the best things about Wainui worlds and events similar
to it is the atmosphere- everyone’s there to have fun, hence the number one
rule- don’t be a dick. Also you can
smash your lap and then recover with a donut and decent banter with your team
mates.
Of course I wouldn’t have made it to the race if it weren’t
for all the people that made it happen for me and everyone else. Firstly, there
are the race organisers and the WTP (Wainui Trail Project) for making sure the
tracks were in a ride-able condition after the storm, and that the whole day
ran smoothly.
Of course there are my
lovely parents that took me out and brought me home, and always support me no
matter what I do.
Also I have the amazing
guys at MUD Cycles that look after me and my bike, so I have brakes tuned to
perfection.
Naturally cheers to Dylan
and Max for being in a team with me!!
Looking forward to it again next year!!
