Wicked Wombat

Trophy

Jindy has been a place I have been keen to check out for a while now, but just never really got there. So when I got the email from Grantley I was keen to have some fun. The track is set on private property but has a fantastic setup with accommodation, kitchen, etc with the tracks looping around everything. The biggest bonus I found was the showers next to transition which was just gold on a hot day riding to just dunk the top half under and get riding again. The tracks were a mix of everything, berms, off cambers, jumps, rocks, loads of pedalling it had it all, apart from the long grinding climbs, I'm sure they will come as more tracks are in progress. Actually there seems to be allot of progress up there with planned tracks from Jindy to Thredbo, loops around the lake and much much more. So the place will be rock'in soon as I think it may just become another must go for a week or a weekend of riding. The locals are committed and have been putting in big hours and it is just a matter of time till the word gets out, seems the WW was just the start. So definitely keep an eye on this website for more to come: Rolling Ground

The race was a little bit different and had it's own little character, not only a wombat but snakes ;). It was a race for mates and riding with a smile. The little quarks of the race were very different but it seemed to have worked. The teams racing, had no limit to riders on track so it was really good fun to just get out there with team mates and hit out as many laps possible, or have a break, or whatever. After 5 laps with Grantley a couple laps later I was out there with Gaz, then out with my team mate again. It was really good to have this option and so much fun. But I must admit 1 thing they did, did not really work, the extra laps for SS'ers, although it did not really effect the results. I just feel it is everyone gets a weapon of choice, and maybe SS'ers should have there own cat to feel special. But this did not really hurt the event at all because podiums were not really what it was about. It was about the fun factor, and it did excel.



Start

 It was really good to finish up the year with a grin and a win :). I'll be back there for some more action for sure, the enthusiasm of the Jindy crew and volunteers really showed, and a huge thanks goes out to them.
