Stage 6 - 23km night race

With a great, fun course that everyone had already raced on in the morning, this night race was going to be a cracker! With plenty of fire road at the start to sought everyone out, it was game on. This 23km had plenty of fun flowy single track which was a lot more interesting at night. With slippery rocky corners, good lights were a necessity. My handlebar lights came loose and just about blinded me, until i made the decision to turn them off. This wasn't such a bad loss as we were in a pack of around 10 and light wasn't really an issue. As the track opened up, so did the pain. Some serious drivers hit the front and pulled us home. Over four minutes quicker than my time in the morning, i was left wondering how i would have done if i didn't get that flat tyre in the morning. Finished the race just inside the top 15 with a 14th place. I need to do more night riding...
