Paul Whibley's Season Winding Down

Hi Guys Its been a busy month.

Early Sep the ISDE was held in Slovakia. I was part of the NZ club team made up of Sean Clarke,Kelly Patterson and myself. The team did really well placing 5th in the club division. I was 14th in class with my best result on day 3 placing 4th.

The following weekend was the final round of the Fast Eddy XC series. I finished 2nd in the race only 5 sec behind Ryan Voase. I finished 2nd in the championship as well, only 1 point behind 1st!

The weekend just gone was the Western Beach race. Over 700 bikes on the line, 1 mile start straight then back through man made sand dunes. Really crazy stuff. Bikes stuck everywhere. I got a poor start as a lot of people jumped the start. I guess it was hard to hold back 700+ manic moto heads. I think I finished 6th but thats unoffical. Its hard to know as you have to queue for about 2 or 3 minutes just to get through lap scoring each lap.

With the season winding down now I hope to be able to tell you soon bout my plans for next year.

Paul.
