After getting a cold during the week - i was lucky just to start. I aimed for around 4 hours for the Half Fling, seeing i did the Dirtworks 50 in 3:30.

In the end, my GPS said approx 3:30 riding time, and with no major injuries (despite a stack in the sand), no frostbite (damn those creek crossings!) and no mechanicals - i was quite content!

A relaxing beer at the finish line with Bernd, Andy x 2 and the other NobMob Half Flingers was a good reward - as was knowing I beat Craig Gordon to the finish line! (shhh, no one needs to know he did twice as far!!)

Cheers,
Lance.

Hi all,

Thought add my two cents worth describing my first "real" mountain biking event - DirtWorks 2008.

Firstly, what a great set-up. Christine you're a legend! Camping? Yeah up near the "Church" she's says... Ha! Hardly! Running water, campfire, full kitchen... and REAL toilets.. no dodgy portaloos for NobMob. Unfortunately I have a feeling we won't always have such luxuries at other events!
