| The advertised distance was 85 km and while at the time of writing BWA have not formally noted that the distance was short the official averages are consistent with a distance of 79 km as was (roughly) recorded by all the riders I queried. Accordingly I have given 79 km as the formal distance.
Note: the nominated Due team bested the Uno and accordingly are listed first. |

| Bif/Babel | 9:41 | 24.2 | 45th/81 | ||
| These are the official distances and times with the average speed calculated accordingly. There was a glitch with the timing equipment affecting start times such that the given times are a few minutes high. We self-timed at around 9:34:20 elapsed. Bif and Babel’s bum on bike time was around 8:38 for an average of 27.2 km/hr. Spunker reckoned he and Cookie suffered through 8:52, giving an average on the pedals of 26.5 km/hr. The count of 81 is the number of pairs completing the Five Dams course. There were another 14 non-starters or non-finishers but for most of them it’s not clear which course they were attempting (five dams or three - in fact I think you may have been able to switch to the three dams course up until they split on Brookton Highway) so I haven’t included them. | |||||

| The placings are within class. The team was Bif, Cookie, Spunker and The Doctor, with strong support from the non-team riders. I haven’t included the individual times for the team members because the names are not given on the results page, and after all it is a team event and a team result. Also, some of the individual results for team members (a 55 km/hr ride by a member of Team Type One B?) seem odd. I kept the hundredths of a second in the times in this case because the team win was by a margin of 0.15 seconds, so they are significant. Finally note that the average speeds are based on the official distance of 60 km - I recorded it as a more modest 58 km. | |||||

| A fantastic and welcome return by Due Coglioni featuring some irregular faces old and new as well as a cunning O’Dirty moving closer to the winner’s circle by dropping “down” from the Uno to make up the numbers. The “B” standard seems to have lifted to the extent that a top ten is now as good as podium a year or two back. Shocking embarrassment for the Uno to be bested on average speed by the Due, despite the significant difference in distance. | |||||

| Ridden on a stationary “spin” bike the challenge here was to accumulate the greatest distance by turning the pedals as many times as possible over an eight-minute time limit. Unfortunately Cookie rode without this knowledge and assumed more power meant more distance. Bif rode fully informed but failed to assimilate the concept and was seduced by the pleasure of the pain. Pipped by 0.1 km for first place we nevertheless picked up the best prize (a $200 bar tab) by raising the most money. | |||||

An admirable demonstration of the rewards of consistency. This time all the placings are from the official results and recognise the number of finishers in each stage and overall. The overall placing is all the more impressive when you consider that more than half the field didn’t complete all the stages. | |||||

| The team time is the sum of the four fastest riders. Deb had registered on the day for Due Coglioni but something went awry with the paperwork so unfortunately her ride did not contribute officially. Factoring her time in would give a team time of 8:52:26 and 19th place. | |||||

| While we don’t wish to encourage the ungentlemanly sport of mountain biking, this superb effort by O’Dirty should not go unrecognised. His impressive result in the 300 metre Stage 2 uphill time trial is ample demonstration of the rewards of the Coglioni training regime, which might be paraphrased as “climb every molehill”. The stage placings are from the official results and recognise the number of finishers in each stage. The overall placing is taken from O’Dirty’s ride report because the rapid ascent link is broken at the time of writing, but I assume it reflects the total number of entrants rather than finishers. | |||||

| The official distance for Swan Valley was 78 km but due to appalling weather we were pulled off after four laps (of five). 65 km is the distance recorded by Bif, while 2:13:30 is our official time.
