Perhaps a spoke end dislodged by one of the 10 table tops around the track. For each bike, practice, plus 4 races x 3 laps. That is more than approx 150-160 'thuds'. Wouldn't take much would it.

Mate, when I got out of the car Sunday night after 3 and a half hours of cooling down I could barely walk. Yesterday, I was very sore hobbling around. Today, surprisingly, much better thanks. It was a very good thing I remembered to put my hip pads in my pants, I often forget them. Cheers

hey Ken

Did you do some extra jumps, I count 9 tabletops and don't worry I usually cannot get out of my van after 3 hours driving and thats without crashing.

OK 9 it is. Must have been seeing double at some stage! Man that track was fun. A decent set of woops to challenge us, some tight inside lines, some fast berms, I loved the speedway style right hander coming up the hill to the woops section and some good elbow to elbow racing. I am finally getting it together enough to clear some of the table tops and the Steam Train made it to the end. Thanks to the guys who helped me troubleshoot it Sunday morning.

A special mention too, to Carl and Bob who pulled out of the race when I went down to check if I was OK. Very unselfish guys. We are lucky to have club leaders like these guys.

Sorry about that, the cold snap came through Sunday night and the temp dropped to minus 5. Lucky we didn't have to camp in that weather.
