Vanderkitten get a call out! - Gosford Day 3

After a restful day we headed to Gosford for an evening crit. On the start line I was interviewed by the race announcer, Mike Tomalres, and tuned up the crowd letting them know that we were going to SMASH IT! And that we were here to play.
And play we did, we launched several attacks. I was so impressed with Emily, Starla and Jazzies attacks. They were really aggressive and had so much potential to be a break but Honda Dream Team was having none of that and chased us down and would not work with us when we were in a break together.
The course was 818 meter and 23 laps. It was a hot dog course that was full throttle on the straights a ways, a fist full of breaks around the corners and standing start sprints out of the corners, so you can imagine how much fun it was being at the end of slinky all night.
The end sprint was a bit hectic sending a Russian Team member to the hospital and disqualifying winner and series leader Rochelle Gilmore for moving a meter in the sprint. Liza Placed 5th and Tiffany placed 7th.
We finished up the race at 8:40 and made for a Chinese Fire drill making our way back to the hotel that was 6 miles away. Liza called the local Thai food place that delivered until 9:30p.m, I handed out lights so we could be slightly seen on the ride home and we all got single file for the adventure that was about to begin. Who’da thought that we would be heckled the entire ride home. People were absolutely shocked to see 6 women riding home in the dark. One boy even yelled out “You should get off the bike and ride me”. Little to say that the road between Gosford and Terrigal is very popular on a Friday night.

No rest for the weary, we have to load up the bikes, whenever it gets back from the race pack our luggage and also put it in the truck before we head to bed. We are out the door at 8:30 to head to Coogee for a 2:20pm start.

More tomorrow.
