Stage 1 Startline
With Marcus out injured it was down to Ben and James to return to Forrest and take on the Forrest Festival stage race for a second time. Perfect weather and a very deep field made for intense racing all weekend.
The end of Stage 3
Ben ended up 6th on the GC with James not far behind in 12th place. With 5 unique stages, 250+ competitors and the magical trail network of Forrest to enjoy this is definitely a race to put in the calendar for next year.
Benny – Quite broken after 5 tough stages
James – Looking a little too fresh after 50km in 2 hours 40 min

Despite a winter training slow down and a switch in focus to multi sport adventure race training for the second half of the year Ben and James still managed to put in a solid effort and come home with 3rd place in the Men’s Pairs at the superb Gippsland Blores Hill course.

Marcus from Speed Cycling put in a solid performance in the first round of the Brooks duathlon series in Richmond over the weekend, coming in fourth in his age group. This follows a good showing from the team at the Salamon Trail running series where Ben came across the line in 6th place, just over a min off the overall winner.

The teams always start like this down at Forrest:
In the middle there is lots of fast racing, hopefully not too much of it looking like this:
After 6hrs of hard work despite a bit of bad luck in the form of the big crash above early in the race for James the end can still look like this:
In cool damp conditions on near perfect trails Ben and James (Speed Cycling Systems’ Little Big Men) battled it out for 6 hours and 20 min to take the win in the Forrest 6hr Men’s Pairs for 2012 in a big field of 91 teams racing. Some quick laps out of the blocks saw the boys take the lead early in the race with a 4+ min time gap by the midway point of the race, but fatigue in the second half saw that gap slowly shrinking so there was no sitting up and rolling to the finish line. Full credit to the Forrest MTB club for putting on a fantastic event with 400 riders competing across solo and team categories.
