GIDDY-UP COWBOYS AND COWGIRLS

Hi Tristan
SNORC IS TEAMING UP WITH HORNSBY COUNCIL AND THE SPOKES PEOPLE TO PRESENT THIS YEARS OLD MANS VALLEY BIKE & FILM FESTIVAL

Hi there sNaKe in the gRaSS! I've changed my name to Buckwheat and I'm EXCITED. My mate Tumbleweed and me have been out RIDEN the pLaINs getting ready to ride the Old Mans Valley Bike Festival. On 7th November we're wheeling in and we're circling the wagons. We are planning to relax and immerse ourselves in a day of what we love - Bikes Bikes and more Bikes. We plan to ride Demo bikes in the morning (Specialized will be there with their fleet), dress up in our finest COWBOY attire to race the Sydney Junglecross Champs, strip down to our lycra for the OMV150 XC and then cover ourselves in BACON GREASE (oh, hang on, that was last weekend) before Tumbleweed plummets down the Bomber Run tagging over to me for the WHIPPET climb back out of the Canyon. Hey, it a'int gunna feel like Kansas when I get to the top but I'll certainly be ready for food, drinks and a nice lay down to watch the finest outdoor adventure and cycling cinema experiences to come to OZ - the movie unReal.

So MOOOZEE on over to the following linkB, check it out and sign up.

Regards,
Buckwheat - SNORC"
