The second round of the 2011 national cup series was held in Loerie, about 70km outside of Port Elizabeth. Another rainy race except this time it actually didn't stop raining. Fridays practice was relatively wet and it showed when I committed to a rock drop at the finish area, slipped on something and ended up on my head. I used the tuck and roll method, and it worked when I narrowly escaped being whacked in the head by my bike.
The course was a fun one! It had a few small jumps, some off camber corners with a few protruding Allow trees that were close to your head on every corner. It had some sweet rock gardens that were tricky too, all in all I enjoyed the track, but unfortunately the rain carried on all through Friday night, all through Saturday night and it was said that it was the most rainfall they had had in over 10 years. So the race organizers announced that the race would be cancelled because the medics couldn't access the area if anyone was to get hurt. Sad faces everywhere, we made our way back to P.E, packed up and made our way home.
