There is a certain feel of achievement with things you do. On Saturday the feeling came from working my way through the field of A Grade riders. SCUM held their installment of the XC Series on a Saturday afternoon, just for something different. There was the usual large crowd and most Grades had a bit of competition. Being a bit slow of the start, I warmed up over the first lap, slowly working my way between riders and across the ever expanding gaps to the next rider. From what I remember lap one was Nat and a few others, lap two Kurt. Three would have been Dave "The Bike Shack" Tuckerman. Then I saw his bike spin spectacularly and pin-ball between trees. Dave on the other hand made a splendid dismount, superman flight between the trees and land like a cat on the soft soil.
After five slightly shortened laps, there was still fuel left in the tank and felt good enough for more. I crossed the line in 5th for A Grade, after making my way through the field. The Coondoo track was in fair shape and offered challenges for all levels, be it the loose soil and sand, gradual climbs or fire-trail sprints. SCUM continues to offer competitive racing at all levels and great value of money over a variety of tracks.
