The race started with a dash for cash and I wasn't really too interested in busting myself for this. I started on the hard tail at a more sustainable pace and was happy with my comfortable first lap. In the second lap Nick Both charged off and set the fastest lap of the day. I increased the pace slightly during lap three and we caught back up to Nick. During the next lap my over-hydrating was taking its toll and I had to stop for a quick nature break. Gordo saw the opportunity and away he went. I wound the pace up a little and was pulling him back at times but a few uncoordinated transitions (on my behalf) and the increasing temperature gave me good reason to take it easier, jump on the dually, look after myself and most importantly have some fun.
This is a fantastic track on the dually, there are sections where you just hold on and trust the bike to soak up all the bumps with a grin from ear to ear. I started to take 2 drink bottles each lap, one of ice water to pour over my head and one to drink down at the start of the lap before it could heat up. I was quite happy the race was shortened to 6hrs as the temp hit 43deg. My legs enjoyed the extra rest required for the Kona 24hr the week after...
You know when the Ferrari FF you're admiring on the showroom floor is the wrong colour? You'd also prefer a different set-up of tyres and wheels, and perhaps the red rather than yellow brake calipers? Well, there's an app for that. Sydney IT developer Zspace has created tablet software for the Italian supercar maker that lets you custom-build your $500,000 dream ride in 3D augmented reality, then have the dealer video you standing next to it, as if it's already in the showroom. Email the video to your other half for final approval. Or perhaps not. The app is a world first point-of-sale use of the software and has been rolled out in dealerships in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Zspace co-founder Tim Jardine reckons it could be the difference between "I'll think about it" and "I'll take it." Now Zspace just needs to develop an app to pay for it. We provide best and top quality Tyres Sydney, Wheels Sydney, Tyre Fitting, Cheap Tyres Sydney, Dunlop Tyres, Bridgestone Tyres, Kumho Tyres, Tyres Online, Ozzy Tyres and Tempe Tyres.
