just thinking about doing one of these and get out there, at the Canberra 8hr the course had only average grip but the elite riders were doing one hell of a lot better with it than I could. My technical descents also have plenty of room for improvement.

I would be up for one of these clinics preferable in a month without any races on which is a bit of an ask between now and November maybe December or early next year which isnt that far away.

Oh come on

Damien, I've already paid for it and it is a spare weekend, (from racing) it's bound to save us heaps of time at the 24hr in a month and we could practise our new found skills on the sweet mtns single track on Sunday so we've done our training like all good enduro racers should.

I will see what I can do just ordered a new 29er fork (Fox f29) so might be stretching the budget a bit far this week.

Full.

Just went to check it out and check with the boss I came back to have another look and the course is full so definitely next time for me.

I have ridden once with Adrian the instructor he is a top guy actually I should be honest and say I tagged along at the back of the freight train of single speeders at night around the dam and bantry bay doing things a bit beyond me at the time it will be a top day and you should get a lot out of it.

Keeper.

The current fork is a ripper I am going to hang on to it for the next twenty niner and as a spare.

Two bikes is good as it's much easier to have one that works. I must've got the last spot.
