First national race meet under my belt now. Honestly expected to be around mid-pack but was pleasantly surprised to be up the pointy end. Couldn't beat the resident of SMP but its ok, there will be next time. I definitely had picked up some pace on the big 10R but a shame I didn't dip into the 36s. Got pretty much to a 37 flat (only 6 seconds away from the next A grader!!) Oh well next time.
Made some geometry changes to the bike and it steers heaps better now. Need to go back to starting school though cuz my starts suck!!! Each time off the line I lose 5-6 spots and have to claw it back throughout the race to gain back spots. I did finish on the top step in the second race on Saturday.
Got heaps of work to do to make sure my starts are much much betterer. Still pretty happy overall considering I only got the 10R 3 months ago and still need a lot more time with it. Its a long season and hopefully I can do well at all of em!
