First Ride in a Month!

For various reasons I haven't ridden for a month, and in all that time swimming a few laps on one occasion is the only exercise I've put in. Oh dear, oh dear.

Well, it's a nice day so just went for a gentle trundle around the streets I usually commute on and managed 23km, 500-ish vertical in about 75 mins. OMG, what a disgrace! In summer I was doing over 30km and twice the vertical on the commute home in maybe 15 mins more. That said, I was taking it very easy today.

Now all the trails have to do is dry out and can do some real riding Smiling

Menai action 060609

This was our 5th ride of Menai. Gradually building the confidence and skill set required to make the most of the challenging terrain. Confident that we could finally follow in the tracks of those that ride this trail the way it was intended..........Smiling

PM Upgrade - Clean your inbox!

I'm thinking of upgrading the PM module to a newer (and naturally better) version. It changes the way things work to more of a 'chat' model than being similar to email as now.

Trouble is that as this is completely different model there is no upgrade path and will have to clear (delete) all messages in the system.

I notice there's 137 unread messages lying around but over 14,000 in total. NB: privacy advocates can chill out: 'select newmsg, count(*) from privatemsg group by newmsg;' doesn't exactly tell you anything but counts Sticking out tongue

Any objections? I would archive the old table of course and be able to pull out anyone's mailbox and email it to them on request.

Meeting Point: 

Enter Kowen Forest by turning right into Kowen Rd as you travel up Sutton Rd -the signposted turnoff is 1.2 kms from the Junction of Pialligo Av & Sutton Rd (Queanbeyan).

Follow Kowen Rd. up for approx 5 kms from the large metal gates on Kowen Rd – the gates will be open & manned from 7:45 AM onwards. Kowen Rd. is mainly gravel & has been repaired & is suitable for ordinary cars – but remember that there is a 40 KPH limit, so drive with care. When you are leaving after the race, remember to follow the exit direction sign down Quarry Rd - one way traffic downhill ; incoming traffic is one way up the bitumen from the gate . Dont sneak down the bitumen against possible traffic , as the entry gate will be closed by then.

The course is 7.2 kms in length & will marked & open for a practice lap from 8 AM ; rego from 8:30 AM , trophy presentation for the ‘08/’09 XC Series placegetters will be held around 9:15 AM ; racing will kick off as soon as we get through the presentation.

If you have always wanted to race With CORC ,now is the time ! Round three of the Corc racing season and it is lots of fun , race hard but finish with a smile on your face . I usually find a nice cafe afterwards to contemplate the drive home ,and laugh at my abysmal performance in the race ..... ok not really but its heaps of fun all the same Give it a go .... you know you want to !! and the cold JUNE Canberra weather will toughen you up !!!! You may even have to dodge the odd roo during the race as well
