Too bad ! There was more than a suspicion of "aah, bugger it!" about the Crystal Brook nats, and as usual those who ignored all the negativity turned up and had a blinder, by all accounts. Those from Qld who refuse to travel out of state because everywhere's too far had better support both events to the max, and out-of-staters have plenty of notice and time to sort out whether to attend one, two, or none of the events on offer.
Baz, if there's one thing I've learnt from running bike race events, it's that you can't worry about what might happen, or who you might upset. Book the date, and give it buggery : Freaky and the gang from the Crystal Brook club have just proved that in spades.
