I'll most likely be a starter for this, shuttle vehicle included, will have to confirm closer.
if im off, im in, and i think im off, so i think im in
i'm a possible as well. will get back when i know if i can come.
I'll be in - hopefully should have my armor by then, my new brakes turned up today
Don't want any more chipped teeth from rock gardens.
I might see if i can get a box trailer to make shuttling a bit easier.
Hi guys. Unfortunately i've been hit hard with some sort of stomach bug and am fairly ill at the moment. Looks like (at this stage) i'm going to have to bail, unless i improve dramatically before friday. Was sooo looking forward to it.
I also have 4 other mates who were coming up with me - pretty sure they will still be up for it tho...i may just drive up and see how i feel once i'm up there i guess.

I put my front derailleur out of whack last weekend when i jammed it full of mud so i'll get that adjusted as best i can and see y'all there. have space for one extra bike on bike rack if anyone else needs shuttling.
Good to hear your coming up again Lee , should be a good crowd , I am bringing some mates that I ride with so we should have plenty of shuttle cars and fun.
see you tomorrow @ 10 ish.

Hey Guys,
Just a quick note. I will be up at Ourimbah with a few of the boys tommorrow (possibly up to 10...talking it up maybe??) anyway our plan is to start a 0800 with a few of us doing the roller coaster etc.. Then afterwards (0900 onwards)when the others arrive doing the downhill. So say Gidday and we can swap stories! & maybe fit ya in for a shuttle if required.
Look for the Black Jeep & ask for Jon
See you lot in the morning, I am planning to get up there around 8ish & do as many laps as possible on xc bike.
fantastic ride all round. really glad the rain cleared up. so surprised at how fun xc can be!
why can't we post out hotlap times for ourimbah?
yeh y not bit of a laugh, the xc times mind you wouldnt be worth it
cheers had a top ride thanx starship for organising it shame you couldnt come!
we were talking about bringing a port. bbq or something for next time and having a lunch break then hitting up another 5-10 runs
What's that... you want an Ourimbah XC Hot Lap Challenge?
You could go ahead and post it, but think the trail is so changeable it might not work. Now, if one was to enforce entries by GPS track only... hmmmmmmm... nah, not workable, huh?
FWIW, you missed some great new stuff at Brisbane Water. Erm... and being lost and cycling out via the tip. That stinks... literally!
Good to see you all up there great day even though I only caught up with you guys after each run , BBQ great idea next time Alex ,as for the hot laps we managed 4 min 45 seconds then on the last run ( isn't it always the last one) we were on our way to beat it with a really hot run my back wheel hit a loose rock skipped out and through me over a steep drop and into a big rock , looks like x ray on my hand tomorrow two beers and two panadine forte Im off to bed after the footy .Worth it though 10 runs x 2 ks of DH fun
How good was it to see a girl doing the DH she raced there last week and was beating some of the blokes with 5m20s runs RESPECT go girl.
hehe nice dez, thats pretty damn fast considering the 3:20 track record! shame about ya hand, that is some unforgiving stuff though down there!
rob, nah DH hot laps dude not xc we are all on 20kg bikes lol but it was fun as always
...remember people summer is coming, lets get some big days in! i think a monster one at ourimbah should be scheduled, stay tuned!
Yeah, thanks all for what was a realy awsome day. I think the rain actully added to it! Can't wait to get back up there with a stopwatch and some extra hours. cheers
-Dez, hope its not serious.
Thanks guys just got the results back no broken bones so very relieved but it will be a while before i can grip anything so no riding for a few days , pretty lame considering what just happened to gazza poor buger hope he heals up ok
