Just got back from Melba BMX track where a UCI round for Olympic qualification points just took place. Conditions were nothing short of heavy up there, with all the rain that Canberra has endured this week it's surprising that races were even able to be held.

Anyhow, Back Bone's fastest team rider Caroline Buchanan was racing today, as well as getting interviewed by Tara Brown for an upcoming 60 Minutes special. Caroline was absolutely smoking down the first two straights but got bogged down in the heavily rutted 3rd straight rhythm, ending up in 2nd & a bunch more Olympic points, putting her one step closer to a spot in the squad! The Olympic squad doesn't get selected until about a month before the Olympics, so every race result counts.
