30 November 2009

Despite some of the worst weather conditions ever for a 24 hour event, the 2009 Kona 24 hour was a massive success. Not only for the promotors Full Gas Promotions, but also for the township and people of Forrest.

Thursday night gave us a preview of the weather conditions to come.  Over the 4 days from Thursday Forrest had a little over 80mm of rain.  Contingentcy plans were put into place early on for track changes should the rain get too much.  These changes were realised only 2 hours into the race.

With the race quickly turning into one of atrition, the real athletes came to the fore, with many "would-be" riders pulling up stumps early.

Solo summary.

Male Solo:

• 1st Jason English
• 2nd Brad Davies
• 3rd Andrew Bell

Female Solo

• 1st Naomi Williams
• 2nd Courtney Shinn
• 3rd Jac Connell
