| Iron Mike Results
Starting with thanks. To Jason Parkes and Em Walshe on rego - a sterling effort with so many entrants including a lot of new riders. (A reminder that riders should contact Jason early in a week before a race to get a race number and Times7 tag - it will make entry soooo much smoother with riders just needing to say their number and hand over their entry money.) To the marshals: Ben Smith, Richard Stanton, Dave Whitelaw, and Pete Gough. Without volunteers racing wouldn't be possible - thanks to you all.
Could the following people please get in contact with Jason Parkes or myself to return your temporary race numbers and RFID tags:
-
Oliver Thearle (D Grade) - Race Number 717
-
Chris Buik (DGrade) - Race Number 738
-
Baden Burke(AGrade) - Race Number 751
And now, a quick race report:
Eighty nine riders started in fantastic clear and (relatively!) warm sunny Winter conditions for the 2010 Iron Mike. The course is a tough one, with lots of climbing per lap, which made for exciting racing. The course this year went to theend of the bitumen which meant each lap was approximately 55km.
MA, MB, MC & WA all completed two laps of the course, with MD, WB, ME & WC tackling one lap.
