Ive never been to Blue Gum Lodge before, trying to decide which bike to bring, the SS hard tail or the geared dualy

GAZZA's picture

It's tight, twisty and techy.
Dually is the go I think?

Are there many rocks? I dont like rocks....

GAZZA's picture

Tate, the only way to make rocks your friends is,,,,,,
To ride them more often. Might take the Rize for this one and leave the 29er at home?
Weather permitting of course?

ChopStiR's picture

Damn it! I'm out, Gout is causing my ankle to swell and painful to walk on.

Stoked with a 5th place!
This has to be one of the best, techy xc courses in NSW!
Awesome!

but i think it must have been you that put your arm out from behind the tree on Jacobs ladder and gave me the fright of my life on lap six?
I never really saw anything apart from the flash of the camera. Don't think a close up of me looking like a rabbit in car headlights would have been a good shot!

oops sorry mate... i should carry a red flag or something....

nothing like an extra adrenaline rush to keep you going.... Smiling

Awesome racing today. Thanks WSMTB for a layed back, friendly atmosphere and perfect track marking.
Rode B-grade, 5 laps was tough but I just pipped my mate in the end - hoping top 10? maybe just outside - didn't ask.
Good into to club racing for me - I'd only done the choco foot single track stuff and 50km races to date, although I've been a member of WSMTB for a while just never made it to a race.
