Oz Safari: Prologue

Finally some sunshine in Geraldton where the prologue of the Oz Safari 2011 will take place. There’s been too much rain in Perth, not the warmup I was thinking of for a desert race.

Always a bit weary taking off on the prologue, so decided to ride carefully. Still, riding and navigating as carefully I can, I missed a turnoff leading through high grass. I wasn’t the only one… Lost some time and finished 33rd. No need to stress, many dayus to get it right…

Feel sorry for my team mate Sam Sunderland who had a big off and got a little bruised. No big worries, he will race!

All these blue flower fields and hills!!!!
