More Like Bye Grade 👋🔥 | 1st B Grade | Hokitika, West Coast ⛅","description":"Got a cheeky text from Darren Claridge last night: “Come over and race in Hokitika.”\nTwist my arm, mate.\n\nPermission secured from Joey, alarm set for 4:45am, and by 6am I was cruising west in the Audi convertible under absolute magic skies. Nothing like an early morning coastal mission to make you feel like a WorldTour pro… minus the team bus.\n\nRolled into Hokitika with just enough time to down a coffee, spin the legs out properly, and yarn with the crew. Big respect to Symon Mitchell who’d made the haul from Nelson — that’s commitment.\n\nPinned a number in B Grade. Seven starters. Honest field.\n\nBy the top of the first couple of k’s, it was down to just me. Looked over the shoulder and saw Symon bridging across. Fair play — I eased slightly and let him latch on. No point riding 40km solo if you don’t have to… yet.\n\nWe rolled through the next two laps at a tidy tempo, keeping it smooth and controlled. Then came the third lap climb. I wound it up steadily at first — nothing dramatic — just tightening the elastic. About a third of the way up… I gave it the beans. Full send.\n\nSymon tried to respond, but the elastic snapped. From there it was head down, elbows in, and 20km of committed solo graft. No looking back. Just tapping it out and keeping the pressure on all the way to the line.\n\nB Grade. Solo win.\nEarly alarm well and truly justified.\n\nHokitika served up the goods — and I happily dished them back out.\n\nWeather Report: Overcast clouds, 14°C, and the wind was blowing 5km/h from
