This Weekend's Racing - Saturday

It was a big Saturday. We had Ryan Moody racing solo singlespeed a the Surf Coast Six Hour at Anglesea and Daniel Loy (our Singaporean distributor) and Neil Robinson (Baum Team member, regular blogger, helper at events and all around great guy) racing the Melbourne to Warrnambool.

Ryan won his single speed category, placed 6th in Solo and came 12th overall, teams included! Nice work Ryan. Oh, did I say he is a little crazy? No? Well he is.

Next up for Ryan is a solo run at the Gravity 12 hour and then the Kona 24 hour. He is training up for some HPV (human powered vehicle) record attempts.

Out at the 94th running of the Warny, one of Australia's iconic races, Daniel and Neil were preparing for the 7:30am start in the chill of early morning. Daniel flew in on Friday with Juliana. David (from Baum) and Juliana were doing support for the two riders.

Neil telling it how it is

Neil finished the 260km race in 125th place after some hard riding especially between Lismore and Camperdown. Daniel pulled out after around 170km. Hopefully we will see them both lining up again next year.
