Hey guys
Have been pretty fecked off with commuting in all the wet weather we've had over the last month. Even if it's not raining and only the road is wet I still get a constant spray into my face, I wear glasses but they don't stop the rest of me from getting wet. So I'm considering buying a set of guards I can quickly chuck on if I know it's going to be more than a little damp out there.

What can be said about this race that cannot be gathered from the pictures? It was top fun despite being a little wet and muddy. Sadly it was a bit of a bike killer but c'est la vie.
The course was short and 30 minute times were expected so we elected to do double laps in daylight, triples at night and play by ear on Sunday. Not being present at the previous night's 'democratic' vote I was sent out for laps 1 & 2 but given the staggered start (solo, 2s & 3s + 1 minute, 4s + 2 minutes, rest + 3 minutes) didn't expect much traffic. Little did we know riding first would work very much to my advantage as things played out but more of that later.

Taken 28 Jun '08. Hasn't rained for over a week and has been warm and sunny since then.
Clearly this one of the sections of Manly Dam requiring the most attention. This is on the downhill from parkway to creek, just before the left/right final bend. I'm sure if you are familiar with the dam you know this spot.
Wet Weather - Please Avoid Manly Dam

We've not heard anything from the rangers, but given this week has been one of the wettest all year (see weather and look at the 6-ish month graph) think it would be wise to avoid Manly Dam at the moment.
Sorry folks, it's easy for those of us heading down South to say, but really think you're going to find a boggy mud fest at Manly if you ride there.

After just 25 mins of riding through mud and sand in a downpour yesterday. To be fair, the jockey wheels (pulleys) were gone anyhow, but it was the brakes and rest of the drive train that took a real pounding.
See one of these sets of pads is still all bright and shiny - they were around two weeks old. Both ends were down to the last 10th mm or something.
