Nice cold day in Kowen
Racing male pairs again for this round, but I prefer three's because I'm lazy but couldn't wrangle a 3rd.
Team Remedy has been through a couple of name changes but myself and the other 2 core riders all ride Remedy's so the name is apt.
Turned up Sat arv for a cruisy scope out lap and thought this would be fairly easy racing - but the track was much harder on race day with the gradual climbs really taking their tolls.
Manly Dam for beginners
Hi team. I am a relative novice however been riding for a few years. Been doing perimeter, long track, cascades as I live in Belrose. never yet tacked Manly Dam - have no idea why not!!!
Advice please - is the track route easy enbough to "find my own way" or is it best to get led through for the first time by soemone who knows the way? If so is anyone planning to do manly dam in the next few weeks that I can join in?

What happen to the Kurrajong MTB Park?
I found on the National Series website that an event was scheduled there last January. But then when googling, the only details I can found is an old post from 2008: http://nobmob.com/node/1652.

SingleTrack Mind #2 - Jet Racing
Normally, these race reports start on the day of the race. The startline, the nerves. This one is different.
I want to go back a year. There was an idea. It came about with friends talking about racing their bikes, conversations which coincided with other friends looking to build a mountain bike team - but a community based team. Something valuable, that did more than just win races. We all agreed that we don’t race our bikes to win. We race our bikes because its fun. Winning makes it 'funner'.

Red Hill update for 25 Jun
The tracks have dried out very well. Small puddles in the usual places are only covering half the track so they can be easily ridden around.
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.

Further afield
With the tracks around Sydney still pretty damp - I got up at about 6.30 on Sunday morning and headed out to Wisemans Ferry for a spin up the Northern Road. It only takes about an hour to get there early in the morning. Down at the carpark was misty and 3 degrees so shivered myself over the river on the ferry. There's nothing that quite describes these mornings out there - as you ride up the first hill and slowly break out of the mist - then as you reach the gate at the top the sun hits you - the fingers have just got feeling back in them and you are totally pumped for the rest of the ride.

First time
What a fun fast race, well organised, friendly volunteers and over and done with in less than an hour. I had been sick with a chest infection for the weeks leading up to this so didn't do any training, but was happy to finish under the hour.
Would love to do it again next year.
