Off his death bed and still in traction from his recent misfortune, Skin & Bones blitzed the 2009 QUON Hill Climb World Championships up Mt QUONlo last Saturday. His time was 15:00min from the gun (12:30 Nett), and a deserving winner of Dean Roger’s historical KOM winners jersey from the 1998 Canberra Tour.
Closing fast at the end was Mr Hot himself, crossing the line in 15:11 (11:30 Nett), and then Randwick whose 45kg frame and fresh legs carried him to the speed hump 9 seconds later. Robo finished next, just off the podium with his Trident legs unable to perform in conditions that suited the blood nuts.
Filling out the top 10 were GTE, Pysie, Jayson, Matty, Brucie and the QM.
The wet sludgy conditions cruelled the chances of the off-roaders with the QM the first across the line. Pedalling one legged, he blew the muddy legs off Mongo, Mouldy and House Of.
Wayneo, who told his wife he was just heading off to get some clean towels and hot water, paid for an early surge and a vain attempt at sticking with the skinniest man in the world up the treacherous lower slopes of QUONlo. He blew spectacularly to limp home in 11th.
Kungfu’s lack of recent Hot/Shambles attendance was evident in his sluggish performance. But his 15th place still put his lowly World’s finish to shame.
Br Vinny got in to the spirit of the event with his badly thought-out cyclo-cross excursion - losing both shoes and his QUON socks in a bog. With bleeding flesh on cold metal pedals, he crossed the line in 20th place over 5 minutes after the winner.
Despite organising a bribe to gain a more favourable handicap, BIG DOG couldn’t even get to the start line on time AND UNSURPISINGLY HASNT PAID THE BRIBE YET! His spectacular attire was only matched by his spectacularly slow time of 25:07.
The QUON Elders and QUON Rookies who cbf’ed to turn up have been duly noted.
