"Wingello State Forest". M50 / Course 2: 27km, +400m, 19c. 15th/22 (27:41 behind Andrew Skelton, NZ). Probably my best MTBO ride. Wasn't sure which fork to go down near #4 but only lost 1'. Happy with all my route choices. Chased by huge mosquitoes at the E part of the map. Best leg: #F (20th/46 on C2). Best pos: 24th/46 (#1/3). 20psi. 9°C. TE 3.6.

"Wingello Village". M50 / Course 2: 10km, +100m, 21c. 22nd/22 (17:07 behind Andrew Skelton, NZ). Misread purple line as a track and turned too early for #4 (lost 1'). Missed turn to road crossing and went off map (-5'). Swooped by snapping magpie. Overran #15 (-1'). Happy with the final 6 controls in the bush maze behind the school. Overall, just too slow. Best leg: #20 (18th/47 on C2). Best pos: 34th/47 (#3). 25psi (too hard). 9°C. TE 3.1.

"The Quarries - Wingello State Forest". M50 / Course 2: 15.5km, +340m, 12c. 14th/23 (19:28 behind David King, NZ). Only problem was near #4. I thought I had reached the mapped track junction but it was really an unmapped junction shown on the map as a purple line. Lost 4' looking left whereas I should have gone right. Well down in the placings but only about 15' away from the podium so much better than the morning race. Best leg: #2 (21st/48 on C2). Best pos: 24th/48 (#2). 20psi. 16°C. TE 3.5.

"Penrose State Forest". Found 20/25 controls. 40/48 points (3:27 early). 15th/90. Started slowly, but probably rode harder than I needed to for a practice event. Did all my planned controls except 191 near the end - too many contours - which would probably have made me late. Actual: 184-192-195-232-194-229-187-230-198-231-199-228-186-227-189-188-193-226-181-182-F. Left out 5 controls on E side of Baronga Creek. One kangaroo. 30psi. 18°C. TE 3.7.

"Belanglo State Forest". 75 min score. Found 16/24 controls. Net 23/46 points (30 gross less 7 time penalties). A bit too ambitious. Planned to do the contols N of the main E-W road. Left out a few extreme N controls but picked up a few S of the main rain to offset some time losses. In hindsight I should have done the S controls plus the closest N controls. This might have got me a score in the mid-30s. Actual: 106-117-114-115-120-108-122-116-113-121 [missed 100; abandoned 124] 103-104-112-123-102-110-F. 30psi. 14°C. TE 5.0.
