You Yangs Crazy Six Hour

On Sunday the 7th June, my sister and I raced as a mixed pair in the You Yangs Crazy Six Hour race at, strangely enough, the You Yangs

My sister Jodie is no slouch on the bike. She raced in the 1996 World Championships in Cairns, north Queensland (a course built by Glen and the local club), so yeah, she can ride a bit. She's also had two kids and so hasn't really raced or trained for the last five years, what with holding down a job and being a mum and all. She's also married to Josh Street, a name which should be known to any Aussie mountain bikers that rode or raced in the 90's.

Anyway, we made it on to the podium (figuratively speaking - there wasn't actually a podium). We came third. I should point out that there were only six teams in our category (mixed pairs), but third is third in my book.
