What did we get up to...first taste of DH

No riding due to home renovations but we will be taking a break tomorrow to hit the trails :)

My first experience of shuttling and riding a DH race track was in June 2012 at Zevenwacht on a ladies DH shuttle day.

Highlights on the track was the rock drop and jump towards the end.

In September 2012 we did our first DH race in Jonkershoek.

Practice day was muddy, no traction, just sliding down the mountain..but the next day the weather cleared and track condition improved.

ESP delivered some great shots like this one.

There were two timed runs in this race. Reto's second run was his best at 2:59.
(He didn't know any better and entered SUB VETS..so no podium for him).

On my second run I improved on my first time by almost 20 seconds - a time of 4:21 and got a prize for rookie of the day!
