Getting ready for round 2

So after a set of good results for Team PHC at the first Pearce Down Hill race of the season, Hilly, Mush and Spence headed up to Bringewood for a Team Day practice sadly Robin is still waiting on a new bike so he couldn’t make it. We were lucky enough to be granted absolutely glorious weather making the riding so much quicker and my job of photography so much easier.

We started down the track with the Triple going on to the fire road; Hilly was absolutely set on sending a one hander over the triple so he could point down the camera lens, but did he? Not even a little one hander but I could tell he wanted too. I think as a compromise Hilly decided to just keep sending it so much higher than Mush or Spence.

As an ex rider myself I have been to Bringewood once or twice in my youth, but I simply couldn’t believe how different the once called ‘motorway’ section looked and the section above it, the one just after the triple. All three riders had both these sections absolutely pinned.

All in all Team PHC had a great day riding and I had a great day reminiscing about the old days and snapping away at the lads.
