Castlemaine 6 Hour Enduro

It was a very depleted Sunday Morning Crew that turned up at Castlemaine for the Jubberland 6 Hour Enduro. This is one of the best events of the year and while initially it looked like there would be crew members featuring in many different categories a few injuries, an operation, a nasty training incident and an overseas trip meant that our numbers ended up being lower than we hoped.

Tony started the exodus with a diagnosis of a torn ligament in his knee. I guess that's always a chance when you are 6ft 6 tall and play footy for 20 years. Phil had his tonsils out and was still in recovery mode, Rod hid in Trish's suitcase when she flew off to attend a work conference in Sri Lanka but worst of all Roz did a superman over the bars and managed to bruise every muscle in the right side of her body. She was in hot form prior to the accident with the NJR team already preparing their victory speech. The Sharp Boys were so devastated they withdrew the whole team after Cousin Geoff refused a last minute request to don a skirt and fill in.



The crew members who did ride enjoyed a great day with the track in excellent condition and no incidents to speak of.

We hope Roz, Tony and Phil recover quickly so next year we can be back bigger and stronger.
