SA Downhill #4 2007

Gilloolys farm in JHB was the setting for the 4th SA DH National. The course was steep in sections and strewn with loose rocks making for a very technical course. The notorious "Foxhole" was a super steep, rutted, rocky section of the track which claimed many a rider, myself included. I didn't have any good runs and felt really uncomfortable on the bike. Having developed a chest cold a few days prior and coupled with the JHB air didn't help either. I finished last in my class with two disastrous runs. All in all it was a lesson learned and I now need to redouble my efforts and get back into training.
