Sunshine Coast Tour
This past weekend Jim and I went to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. It was here that Jim competed in a 4 stage cycling race. The racers were ranked according to their overall times after 4 events. The first race on day one was 75 km (3 laps). Jim finished with the bunch and felt like he had a good race. Day two started with a 7km hill climb. Jim did great and finished 2nd. That afternoon was the third event, a 10 km individual time trial. Jim biked well enough to get 4th in that event. Day three was the last
race, an 80 km (4 laps) race. Jim had a very strong finish near the front of the pack. Due to Jim's consistent hard work over the weekend, he was able to bike himself into 2nd place overall in his category and make us $300 richer!
The guy (named Gavin) that got first place (by only 17 seconds) races with the same club that Jim signed up with, so it was nice for them to be able to work together out on the course to keep an eye on their competition. We stayed with a friend of Gavin's to save on lodging. He lived in a cool rural area right by a river. You could fish off his deck, but you had to watch out for the water skiers and jetskiers that were zipping by.
