2016 Inside Line Rd 1 – Mt Gambier

Here we are again the first round of the SA state series, what with all the busyness of nationals it certainly doesn’t feel like 6 months since state champs.

The first round takes us south to Mount Gambier. At track walk it looked a relatively untechnical track, fast, smooth and short. As you’ll see in the following photos it would be the complete opposite once 100+ riders hit the track it being so dry it turned super rutted and soft.

To say it was loose would be an understatement. Every run the ruts would be different

  1. Awesome report and photos, it was great to have everyone down for the weekend just a pity it was so dry because a week and inch of rain later it’s practically hard pack up there now.
