Julian Mountain Bike Race - Sunday May 7 no.2

Getting to the start line...the beginning of the 22 mile ride - the last 3 miles is a 2000 feet climb - not for the faint hearted!


And they're off! Silver-lining is leading by a half length with Who's-your-daddy right behind and around the corner they come with another 22miles to go!!! Who will win this one today???
Here Clark is at the end of the 22miler - he finished in 16th place. Right behind him is Jacques followed by Natasa - she was the first female and 17th overall. Jacques finished in 2nd place overall, and still had enough time to come and meet up with Clark and Natasa before they finished the race. It was a great race, but also very nice to come in and finish it. They wild flowers in the fields were amazing - reminded me of Namaqualand back home in South Africa.


Almost there - the 3 of us cycle back to the finish line on the last stretch of the race which thankfully was on a tar road!
