i am hoping they have a cyclocross category this yr.
I am thinking of doing this on my KHS CX200 Cyclocross bike (currently my commuter) for something a bit different and slightly crazy
Don
yes, they have!

Bernd
Looking forward to it.
...Stuart, i will expect you to join me for a social whirl here...
on a 29er SS (maybe....) so Paul I need to train with you! and Christine I may hang around you guys, too.
Bernd
wife will have trouble giving me permission to have a "full fling...social whirl" with you or anyone else for that matter, actually maybe the other Mr M would be ok
I may be swayed to ride a full 110km at the Highland Fling but if it is with you and your gaggle of others then we will need to work on improving the ride / stop ration of 7hrs/2hrs
who joins the 'Social Set' will have to spend less than two hours socialising and if they are true Elite Social Riders will complete the ride as a whole rather than having a sprint finish alone...
however I may have to ride the whole thing by myself if I can't convince Stuart to ride with me in which case shall no doubt be a grumpy blondie...
Having ridden with you before both public and private......MDOldfart, you do talk to much

getting air in and out through my mouth is a whole lot more pleasant an experience than having it pass through my nose.
I think the EPA are still looking for the source of that spill on the Woomerah range
When he used to ride after work I liked riding behind him as he always wore after shave and smelt very nice...
certainly not hair we could see, maybe the B, C and S? Closet lycra boy
sighted recently in Belrose, a shaven Pikey.
From boredom and sitting around the house, the previously hairy Mr Pike is now clean shaven.
Go to town with that one
Friday afternoon special
i seem to remember that i didn't promise to do the 110km...
Andrew
Lorrie...you said at Mt York you were going to do the Social Full Fling...
what is it with you and dates mate?
Yer right lorrie. Social......
Christine....Once the gun goes off he will be off at a LIGHTNING pace and you will never see him again till the end
he isn't used to riding off road so I have a slim chance of him being part of the Elite Social Crowd... seems he signed up for a practise ride at St Albans this weekend...
I think I could handle a full fling at social pace and keep you company. Don't want you grumpy...

If anyone wants to sell an entry send me a message.
thanks
Good luck to all the mobbers riding the fling on Sunday.
I'll be there reprising my Angry Doctor role as a course marshall (probably somewhere in the Wingello Forest), so hopefully I will see the full flingers out there.
I'll be the guy squeezed into a kilt...... can't wait to get back on the bike, even my fat clothes don't fit me any more!
CB
Are any other nobbers mad enough to be doing the Dash on the Saturday? If you are can I draft behind you on that hill please?
Only 2 days to go and not one person has mentioned the weather yet! Is this a record?
What weather?
Yep, I'll be doing the Dash. Will be taking it VERY easy though so I don't risk anything for Sunday.
Weather will be fine!
Taking it easy? What for?
The way I see it it's for smashing yourself so far into the ground that you have a good excuse for getting a rubbish time in the main event
I'm doing the full fling, but training has been sporadic over the last few weeks, so I don't expect a 'fast' time. If I can do it in 6hrs or better I'l be very happy.
Who's camping this year? Any ideas for a general spot, like last year in the bottom corner on the fenceline?
I'll be there somewhere between 4 and 4.30, and eating in town after watching the dash and registering.
See you all there!
Whisperer
I'll be camping, but havent met the nobmobers cept for Rob. How do I recognise you ? Do you have any 'distinguishing marks' ???!!
As Pratiwi is coming we won't be camping. Hope to see a few folk milling around rego on Saturday arvo though.
Hopefully we'll be there in time to watch the full flingers leave and given the expected pace will likely be seeing a few come by in the last stage.
Failing all else, see you at the end
I'll also be camping at the event. Not sure of the layout of the campgrounds,
if you see a black Landrover freelander come and say hi. Will be getting there around 4ish
Sorry to see your arent back on the bike yet....You must be getting close to riding again soon?
You were working hard as a marshall at Mogo last time I saw you.
Will look out for you.
I'll be the grumpy swearing old guy
