Cadence Cycling Hot Hounds and First Mate Summer Freight Pull

Round 2 in the Dryland series features the notorious "bonebreaker" trail - the venue is famous for controvesy (remember Susie Rogan resisting arrest? Valerie leading the 2 dog before crashing and burning (er, surely "breaking"?) 20 yards from the finish?); Lee Kirkpatrick and Jim Hajash are happy to throw open their estate and Drag N Fly Kennel at km 2 on the Old Alaska Highway for another rollicking good time, races, freight pull, BBQ and the occassional quaffing of a refreshing cool T-shirt. Unfortunately they won't be there, which is rather extra cool of them to allow us to race there in their absence - the meet will instead be hosted by Tony "CHT 2009-10 Champion" Radford and Chrystal Bartzak.

The usual set of races on the apparently mellow, mainly gravel, flat and straight trail - if you come off your wheels don't straight arm into the ground, let your hand touch the ground then bend your arm, and roll over onto your shoulder - a crash technique perfected by Snowpigs, because they get a lot of practice at it.

So, Registration at 6pm, be on time please, and thanks for being so punctual at the Chocolate Claim races.
