Rob starting the climb

It was a very nice day at Yellowmundee this weekend for their round of the Working Week Series. Good course, dry weather (just) and plenty of top NoBMoB company and banter made for a most enjoyable race day.

Mind you, the early start (6am) after late night (2am) wasn't easy, nor was the freezing start (yes, the car thermometer saw 1 degree on the way in).

Sam & I had paired up in the duo of 'Two worn out Nobs', the start being decided on the flip of a coin which saw me shivering by the river just gone 8am.

I like this course I think a solo entry might be the go its only 8 hours.

Will be there

Submitted by Eyeball on Fri, 04/07/2008 - 09:18.

I'll be there with Debbie and possibly Mathius. If Mathius's back is still crook we'll be looking for a third rider who doesn't mind not being at the pointy end of the field.
See you there.

Lap dancers 'dance' again

Submitted by Whisperer on Tue, 08/07/2008 - 13:47.

Groover, Steve01 and Whisperer are in for another crack in mixed masters 3s.
3rd place last time at Killingworth in mixed masters class, and first 'masters' team home. (there wasn't a masters only 3's team).
Fairly high bar to reach again, but we're motivated (Steve's actually been training for this one!), and look forward to keeping the other 'junior' teams honest...

So how does one enter this race if the online component is down?

There will be a lot of phone

Submitted by alchemist on Mon, 14/07/2008 - 08:43.

There will be a lot of phone calls and emails today as the WSMTB crew pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Hopefully we'll see something mid week.

NobMob Tent at Yarramundi Race

Submitted by Whisperer on Sat, 26/07/2008 - 20:24.

Hi All,
Groover has set up an area at the race for the NobMob team.
Directions:
Go to regestration tent, go right and down the track 130 paces.
It is on the right, big tarp and his white commodore wagon.

Cars can be brought in by going through the car park, straight ahead, don't veer to thethe parking areas on the right, continue down a small grassy track to the left, about 100 m past registration.
It will be easy to figure out once you have walked in to the tarp area.

See you there!

Mini pump?

Submitted by Little-Ditty on Sat, 26/07/2008 - 21:13.

Do you want me to give you my mini floor pump that I have in my Camelbak?

Sorted

Submitted by Little-Ditty on Sat, 26/07/2008 - 21:22.

All sorted now. Silly Gazza will be borrowing one. Eye-wink

techy climb

Submitted by leximack on Mon, 28/07/2008 - 16:02.

did anyone clear the 2nd techy climb, i could ride the first one (if no-one got in the way) but a few attempts of the 2nd climb resulted in me being on my backside each time.
Anyone get up it cleanly?

Don

Got up it with one dab, but

Submitted by alchemist on Mon, 28/07/2008 - 16:09.

Got up it with one dab, but it sounds like I was trying the wrong line (left hand side was the go)

Second no good

Submitted by Rob on Mon, 28/07/2008 - 16:15.

Yeah, first was fine with a clear line (as I wrote - took 5 laps to find that!) but second too hard.

I was talking to a guy in CBD at lunch who told me they put rocks all over the correct (read: easy - I'm sure someone would get up here!) line on the second tech climb because of erosion.

The Lap Dancers

Submitted by Carlgroover on Mon, 28/07/2008 - 21:48.

Rode like scalded cats for 8 hrs and hit the podium once again, in an even higher place than last time to grab 2nd place in 3'S Masters mixed team in a race where only a few minutes separated the top 3 teams, Gazza and Evan went solo with Gaz doing consistent laps all day and Evan doing a lap when he saw fit. Sammy Davis and Rob lapped all day in pairs but missed out on a podium finish in a very competitive category Eye-wink Thanks all for a great day.
