2016 Inside Line Rd 1 – Mt Gambier

Here we are again the first round of the SA state series, what with all the busyness of nationals it certainly doesn’t feel like 6 months since state champs.

The first round takes us south to Mount Gambier. At track walk it looked a relatively untechnical track, fast, smooth and short. As you’ll see in the following photos it would be the complete opposite once 100+ riders hit the track it being so dry it turned super rutted and soft.

To say it was loose would be an understatement. Every run the ruts would be different
