On Sunday my son Kieran and I competed (pfft) in the 2010 Careflight Woodford to Glenbrook Classic or the Woody Worlds. This race is a 30km mountain bike race along the Oaks Fire Trail from Woodford to Glenbrook. It is a charity fundraiser for Careflight.
This was our first crack at the "Woody Worlds" and we had a great time. Fantastic even that is run very professionally. Kieran and I didnt start in our age groups as we were keen to ride together in our first event, so we started in the "final wave" at the back of the pack but ahead of the runners.
I was glad that Kieran and I had riding this course a couple of weeks ago so we new what to expect. Our ride went pretty well and overall our time was a lot quicker than a fortnight before. Kieran got a flat tyre and that held us up for probably 10-15mins but its all part of the experience.
I have to say that in hindsight, I am disappointed in our time. Obviously the puncture didnt help but I think that overall we were too conservative. I am already looking forward to next year when I am really going to push hard, and probably blow up before I get to the helipad.
I love this sport.
