With ten starters, we had the best field in an A grade club race for ages. I was a little worried about how I would go, because I had just done a very hard ride that crossed the Bunya Mountains twice, two days earlier. As it was, I was also in the midst of a 720km week. In the end, I shouldn't have been worried, because I actually had reasonable legs.
The pace was pretty solid from the start with a few attacks. The decisive move came at about half way when Jared Graves (yes him again), Pete Collins and myself managed to sneak away. We stayed there with a good gap over the chasers until the very end.
Jared pumped me and Pete at one to go for the win. I had nothing left for the finish and Pete disposed of me very easily in the sprint.
I'm very happy with the third place though. Very eager to see what I can do with fresh legs.
