WSMTB Round 4 - Blue Gum Lodge

Well the whole family went up to Blue Gum Lodge for round 4 of WSMTB XC series.

Fantastic day on a fantastic circuit. A great event held and run by all the guys at WSMTB.

I have heard so many good things about this circuit that is only used once a year and it certainly didnt disappoint. even with my very limited experience I could see the work and mega hours put into this track.

My youngest son Lleyton had a great time in the Under 10's race followed by oldest son Kieran battling it out in the under 13's. This round I mdae the big leap from Novice mens to D grade. Whilst I have been training and really improving, this was probably NOT the round to make the change as Blue Gum is a lot more technical than Yellomundee. In fact when I registered, Erica from WSMTB even gave me this advice which I promptly ignored only for her words to come flashing back to me as I rounded the top of the "Palletive Care" section.

In the end I enjoyed the challenge although I placed motherless last in D grade. at least I know how much improvement I need.
