This was The Fling for me, did the 110 option ( didn't know you could do only 100?!)

This was different race to the one I did two years ago, it's 110kms and it's a long, long day.

Threat of rain as of last week so was pretty apprehensive. I had a spare pair of socks and gloves and light rain jacket all ready to take in my pack. Woke up Sunday morning and not a cloud in the sky! Yeehaa! Walked around outside and the ground wasn't too wet either, this was looking good.

I was riding that singletrack before the Golfcourse at the Dam Wednesday arvo, came round a corner and there was a great big rooster standing in the middle of the trail!!

It turned and bolted, but with no where to go it just ran along the singletrack at full pelt with me riding along right behind it. This went for about 100 meters before it jumped into a clearing on the side of the trail. Was hell funny - never seen a rooster run so fast!

Went riding in Fiji today.

Sketchy cheapo Learsport hardtail witrh dodgy gears and brakes, helmet that was too big.

Found some sick trails though, steep, rocky, loose, rutted double track going straight up a mountain ridge. Awesome views of the coast and reefs.

Be great one day to come back with a real bike and do some real riding. If my little outing is any indication, there must be some awesome riding around here!

I'm off for a Fiji Bitter now...

Well, hit up West Head yesterday in an attempt to find a drier spot to ride, and the West Head trails were great! Center trail, Waratah, good fun and good warm up for the Dirtworks.

Awesome to finally meet some of you too. Goatman, you impressed me! Was good to ride with Crash Bandicoote and The Pannicar, and I think Lizard Arse you are on the roids!!
