G'day All,
Just a short note to introduce myself, since I've been lurking long enough.
The handle says dogsputnik, but in reality I'm Alex Bramford.
Two years ago I did the DW100 on my first bike, a Kona Firemountain, and developed this addiction to all things MTB.
For no reason other than it's there I'm currently (foolishly) training for 'La Ruta de los Conquistadores' in November, and my rides are a Trek roadbike, Rush 3, and a Surley Pugsley. I'm no racer but I train hard and am reasonably fit, and have ridden most of the events on the Sydney calendar. I'm Sydney city based, but I try to get the hell outta here into the countryside as often as possible, so I'm always up for a ride. To this end I'll probably join some of you on the Wiseman's Ferry jaunt, 27 July. Looking forward to meeting you, Alex
Don't forget to mention that
Don't forget to mention that it is a single speed Pugsley.
La Ruta de los Conquistadores
Man that race looks awesome! I take it you won't be on the Pugsley for that one...
There are a few of us that train on the tar as well, if you're looking for mileage... Just drop me a PM if you're interested.
good lord!
that ride looks insane
mental note to self...don't go riding with the 'new guy'!!
Hills?
Are there any hills on that ride?
La Ruta....
....Looks no harder than the Cascades "four gates" (40 times over 4 days)

Good luck on that one mate,
$2,000 entry fee looks like good value.
I'm with christine "not another roid boy"
