After a long break off the mtb and only road riding i set off to the 2010 Howick Highlander 45km race, with high expectations i was hoping for a top 5 overall finish but what i didn't realise was that there were many big names that i wasn't aware were going to be there.
The start was comfortable and by the first piece of singletrack there was a lead group of about 12 riders , at the first climb the pace was quickly lifted by andrew warr which left andrew, brendon davids, tyrone white , craig paul and myself at the top of the climb in the front group. Because of my lack of singletrack riding my skills were suprisingly shocking and in the second piece of singletrack i was dropped, for the first 15-20km i had the lead pack in sight along long straights but then it was over for me and i was racing in no-mans land, i raced hard and had some stomach cramps but i managed to race hard and came in 5th overall 2min behind brendon davids and first youth male, was a awesome course and loved the singletrack.
Craig Paul secured a win over Andre Warr in a sprint
Thanx for your time
Kyle
