Tathra MTB Enduro postponed until August 27/28
This weekend's Tathra MTB Enduro has been postponed due to torrential rain and local flooding.
The event has been rescheduled to August 27/28, 2016.
An intense low pressure system along the NSW Coast has dumped over 300 mls of rain on Tathra during the past four days, resulting in widespread flooding. Gale force winds have also felled hundreds of trees.
Another low pressure system is forecast to bring further rain to the area on Thursday and Friday this week.
Getting shafted @ Port to Port day 3
I was 4th in masters general classification at the beginning of the day. My aim was to make the most of my local knowledge in Awaba MTB park where I ride & race regularly to get on the masters podium for the day & into the top 3 on GC.
I came out of Awaba in a group with 1st & 3rd in my category & had opened a gap to 2nd & 5th, 6th etc. Before turning the corner at the end of the first long straight of the climb I glanced back & could not see any riders or groups in pursuit, only one or two who had dropped off our group.
Wollombi Wild Ride Course Info
Heading to Wollombi this weekend... Does anyone know if the Wollombi Wild Ride 60km route passes through any private property?
Anyone got a Strava link by any chance?
Cheers, Andy
Otway300
I'm just back from a weekend at the Otway300 - it was such an incredible event.
Its a long race for sure, and a bit of a journey to get to Forrest, Vic to compete, but my word, it was worth every second.
8 mates caught the same flight, booked a couple of cars, and hired a big house together - for what really was an ultimate 'boys riding' weekend away.
The racing was great - for sure - but the whole vibe and nature of the weekend really stood out. If you even slightly fancy yourself as an endurance based rider, put it on your calendar for next year. Its a bucket list race...
The Mont
Had a good time at the Mont, I'm shattered now.
Thanks to Pancakes for getting the team together, cooking pancakes, looking after the running sheet and all the other stuff you did to make things run smoothly.
To the rest of the team, thanks for making the event a whole lot of fun, it's not something I thought I'd ever do let alone enjoy.
@Hawkeye, thanks for your text msg yesterday.
Cheers
Convict 68Km 2016 race
Hi
I am going to do the convict 68KM, I did ride the last Convict 50km and the last Husky 50km.
Anyone who rode the 68km last year or other convict events I am interested in your thoughts and experience on the event.
1) They say that the 68km has single track in it, how technical is this single track and what pecentage is the single track too fire trail?
2) Does the 68km have the down hill section of the old 50km with the hazadous gutters in it?
3) Any hints on the canoe as I am keen on riding it.

Bago Bluff Marathon
Hi all,
I've heard that there's this 50/100km marathon up near Port Mac on March 6th, and was thinking it looks like a good alternative to the executed Capital Punishment that was a similar distance/time of year.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the tracks/race and anyone had been considering having a go at competing in it as I'm keen to know who'd be around if I made the trip up.
