Scott 24hr

Well the Scott was once again a fun event and perfectly timed as a sturdy reminder of two things:

• Mountain biking is really fun (even though the solos got most of the good trails, and hammerhead continues to gather cobwebs)
• You can lose a lot of fitness in the off season

This year our Swell Redshift team of six was a little less serious than in the past and we were happy to not have too much pressure on us. Being in the sixes, definately allows a bit more time for socialising, which is a nice change. We had a solid hit-out and managed 4th in the sixes, not a bad effort, but unfortunately just off the podium. Well done to the other teams, especially the Spearmans and Lonsdale St boys that really made a race of it. And who could have believed that a washed up old downhiller could step to the nations best XC guys? Ryan "the shadow of his former self" Lennox . . . . . I salute you.

Thanks to the guys at Swell Design Group for the sweet hook-ups and the good times.
