The Mont: team wanted!!

By Spike - Posted on 03 April 2009

Hey, I KNOW this is like extreme last minute, but my entire team has just bailed on me for the Mont. Does anyone need a girl to ride? (Willing to pretend to be a guy for the weekend if that's what it takes to ride!)

I'm car-less so I was going to get a lift down with my teammates so I will also need to beg for a lift, if it's not too much to ask.

Anyway if anyone needs a rider PLEASE let me know, I really want to go but am currently stranded in Sydney!

cheers,
Jen.

If you don't have any luck do the solo only race at easter. Or even the 6+6.

Jen, that sucks I hope you made it down.

I had a prior arrangement so I have known for months I couldn't go down and it hasn't been easy, but to be dumped the day before must hurt - poor form by your buddies.

If you are interested I am going to ease my pain with a Dirt Works training session around Terrey Hills / West Head on Sunday afternoon. Nothing fast but a long steady ride with few stops.

My mobile number is in my profile if you are interested.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm laying in a tent down here with rain banging at the roof.

And this is nothing compared to how heavy it was earlier.

The powder like dust will be gone at least, but gonna pray for it to stop as sleep is needed and cannot take another 24 hours of rain Sad

That you really like camping Rob, some people would be really miserable in those circumstances.
I'm sure it'll be fine for the race, have fun.
John.

Yes, I feel the pain too. I'm sitting looking at my huge monitor doing my UNI assignment about Social Networks! It's really painful, this is why I'm not down there! I was asked to take part but knew I'd be sitting in this spot 6 months ago.

GOOD LUCK RIDERS>>>>>>>Keep us informed if anyone has mobile/laptop access.

Oh dear, the rain cleared and we had a brilliant 24 hours of racing on a brilliant track. Sorry Eye-wink

P.S. Will write more later. Everyone - please don't go posting stuff about the race here - put it in a blog entry about the event.
