950 miles later we arrived in Leogang, Austria just in time to sign on and walk the course for my second World Cup race of the season.

The track at leogang had an awesome mixture of flat out piste sections and jumps, and steep, rooty sections. Practice started early Friday morning and I got straight up there picking my lines. Luckily the rain held off just enough to get a few dry-ish runs in but then the heavens opened in good old alps style down pours! We were heading off for some lunch and within 2 minutes we were soaked. Ash was also unfortunate enough to stand underneath the restaurant awning as it was being put in, oops don't think he'll be doing that again! So after that down pour the track became so messy and rutted and stayed like that for the rest of the weekend. There was so much mud that you couldn't see the tech rooty bits any more. Maybe this was a good thing?

I managed to put together a pretty strong qualifying run with only a couple of mistakes, which put me in 15th place, my best so far!

After a ton more rain Saturday night and Sunday morning race runs turned out to be pretty hard. I spent most of the run on my bottom but made it down in 18th place!

So after 1900miles in 29 hours, at an average speed of 65.5mph, we are back home and off to work in the morning to fix your forks :)
