More punishment
After being out there for a couple of hours I got back to my car and decided to time myself on the quarry climb. So back I went and gave it a go. One question I have is what gear combination do people use for this?
First climb of the day
First climb of the day doing the 4 gates http://nobmob.com/node/4559 ride. I think it would be better to do St Ives, Davidson, Quarry then Heath back to the car.
Is it worth it?
Lap 2 here:

Not the best way to start (was only 4Km into what turned out to be 31Km ride), and was in a bit of pain the next 10-15 mins. Sub 5min is the goal of course... why?! 
Sidewall Repair #2
Repair #2 to a ruptured sidewall (below) after it started to bulge through tape applied to attempt #1. Remains of old tube tube wrapped around deflated tire and secured, then tire pumped to operating pressure. Seemed to work a treat too!
Sidewall Repair #1
Apologies for the dodgy focus... cr@ppy camera phone.
Anyhow, repair #1 to a ruptured sidewall (below) - some of the old tube tube folded double inside reinforced with gaffer tape.
When Sidewalls Pop
Brian's rear tire which I heard explode from a good way down the trail. Oops! Note this is tubeless but he had very skinny tubes inside.
Two attempts to repair:
Second one clearly the best as there's no attempt #3
