Vanderkitten’s Emily Kachorek, 5th in Bathurst

A very successful evening in Bathurst tonight, Emily 5th, Tiffany Pizzulo 7th and Starla Teddergreen 10th. There is so much to cover about our day today here are the quick details about the race. Field included the Vanderkitten Super team, Honda Dream team, Virgin Blue, AIS, NSW AIS, Russia, New Zealand and a handful of other small Aussie teams. The course was only 500 to 600 meters and we did 36 hot laps. Vanderkitten represented well with breaks and attacks. Me and Liza both initiated breaks that had potential but Honda Dream team shut everything that was a treat. In the end Emily made a move up the side at 2 laps to go and stayed in the hunt for 5th. We are chilling in out hotel tonight on the Bathurst race track before heading out to Paramatta tomorrow.

Today started off great with a small cup of gas station coffee and a bit of work on the internet. Tiffany hit to local farmers market and bought some fresh fruit, cheese, jam and bread walked back to the hotel and had breakfast out by the pool.

We loaded up and headed out to Bathurst at 9:30. The 3 hours drive North West of Sydney took us through the Blue Mountains. The views were spectacular. I posted some photos on facebook.

Upon arrive I had to ask. What the heck is in Bathurst. Well, there is a world famous race track that has been around for 80 years. The track is used for racing Ford and Holden cars. These two manufactures are competitive with each other and the racing in Bathurst is very popular in for Australia and New Zealand.

Our hotel in on the race course. It crazy I have posted on facebook photos of our 360 degree view from the front room. We have an apartment; 3 bedroom, 2 baths and an kitchen.

Gotta go. Tiffany (our resident Italian) just cooked up so pasta with chicken and fresh bread. It smells so yummy in out hotel room.

More tomorrow.
