My racing buddie (Bryan) and I took on the Killingworth MTB track yesterday for round 4 of the BMC Working Week series.  The race is basically cutting laps around a 10km mountain bike loop for 8 hours - the most laps in the lowest time wins.  Bryan and I were in a pairs category where it works like a relay. 

It was a chilly morning getting up and out to Killingworth (just out of Newcastle) but the sky was clear and things were looking good for a day of MTB action.

Well another wet morning and its hard to get the mojo to roll out of bed let alone slip on the nicks and head out into the weather ... but the Dirtworks 100km is fast approaching so every KM in training helps.

The mornings ride was light on numbers due to the rain - just me and the ride leader (Simon) to start, but we set off undeterred. The track was obviously wet, but we were able to avoid the worst of the mud by picking rocky tracks that were well drained. We had to take shelter and a coffee break in Terry Hills and decided heading further away from home wasn't the best plan, so we returned via Cascades and did some exploring around nth Turramurra (didn't find any winners - but its all part of the adventure).
