Bens favourite phrase recently has been " done and dusted " , as in never in doubt . He would be the winner , the only question was the distance of the winning margin . Indeed .
So it is the Inaugural AllCost Invitational has been taken out by Ben Allcorn . Yes it hurts , of course it does , but luckily I'm a good loser and also Ben was a gracious winner .
I have copped a bit of stick from the punters who backed me and no doubt Monday morning will be an interesting day . The Men in White are filthy and I might be cleaning out a silo that day .
But the real pain was felt on the way home to Orange after the race/pub , I was spruiking my personal best time to my wife as she drove , I told her of my supreme effort , my aching muscles , the age difference .
" He flogged you " she laughed .
That's pain !
Tracy Middleton is also hurting as she watches me vainly trying to catch up . For her it's Reschs refreshes as it is for Muldoon . Sorry Guys !
If it's any consolation I have never ridden as fast as I did today in the Inaugural AllCost Invitational . My name will not be on the trophy but it is partly named after me . For myself I take victory in that I have never ridden faster than 27km/h on that route but on the day I was over 31km/h .
You know when Olympic athletes console themselves after a loss with the fact they have just performed a PB ? Well that's me !
To Ben Allcorn go the spoils and deservedly so . He actually backed off at the end so we could go over the line together but I waved him on . I was never close enough to him to justify that gesture but I appreciated it anyway .
And yeah that's right it's Reschs refreshes for me too . Candy from a baby ...........
