Kudos for staying through the whole thing!

That's insane, Habernac! 
Not sure how I managed to avoid any crashes in 4 laps I did. I crashed twice during Rundle's Revenge (50KM). 
Amazingly, only mechanical issue I had was chain popping off right towards the end of my lap - popped off twice. Blobs of mud everywhere on the bike probably had something to do with it!
