And something else.

My Dad did the Winter Series long course on the weekend also. He's 60. Rode it Rigid, Single and bull headed. Had he ridden that far off road on an SS before? no. Trained off road much, instead of putting in some (not insignificant)Km's on the road? nah. Did he come DFL? nope. Did it nearly kill him? Yes. Respect the man? Hell yes. Would I have tipped a beer over him had I been holding one as he came through the creek on Rose Bank at the end? unfortunately, yes.
