Summer Cup R2

Been a bit slack with this post. A couple of weekends ago was the second round of the summer cup series of races at the Gold Coast. Once again I competed in the B-grade class and was hoping to get my first win. There had been some rain over the last couple of days to the track was a bit slippery in place, anyone that has raced there before knows how bad the black soil mud gets on the bike, and how much harder the race becomes. The pace was fast from the start with my self and another breaking away on the first climb. I got around the first two laps clean with no probably and had about a 10m gap on second place coming into the last lap. The last lap was quick with the chasers trying to bridge the gap to second place. I really pushed hard on the main climb till I dropped my chain with a couple of up hill switchbacks left. I had to jump off and run to the top of the hill to put my chain back on, while I did this I dropped back to second place. The race had only a km left and It was very hard to catch back up to first. I came around into the finish straight only 30sec behind first.
