We've Gone Global.CORC’s Scott Australian 24 Hour MTB Championships, the largest race of its type in the world and Australia’s original 24 Hour, is now affiliated as a Pillar Event with 24 Hours of Adrenalin so the great fun and participation event that everyone loves is still the same, still at Stromlo, but with a different (and longer) name. But, to all Australian Mountain Bikers, its still "The Scott".

Poor planning comes good

For an event I wasn't looking forward to that much this one turned out to be a real goodie... as is so often the way.

The forecast was for cold weather and after last year's hypothermic experience this didn't bode well, the team had had more changes than a Kylie concert, less planning skills than the NSW state government, and I had to drive alone due to no suitable travel companions. Then driving through the M5 tunnel realised I'd forgotten my tarp, table and chair - oops!

This is a shout out to all the randoms out there who want to ride it, but thought they'd missed out on a spot on the Scott 24 hour team.

See - once upon a time there was a team consisting of Jay, Dan, Pieboy, Tien & Shaz. They asked me to join them which I did.

Then Jay dropped out 'cos he wants to do it solo.

Then Pieboy dropped out because he has to work.

Then Tien dropped out 'cos he wants to do it solo too.

Then Shaun decided he might like to join.

And the way I hear it Dan (who I've never met - hello Dan) may be in or out but not confirmed.

Not all that exciting but a little solo stack in the middle and the fact that somewhere in the rush our NoBMoB boys are in there somewhere.

My First 24 hour event

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Slowly getting the race notches in my belt. Apart from a casual spin at the yellowmundee grand prix, this was not only my first 24 hour event, but also my first experience at a lap style team race. I have to say its a completely different style of riding/racing and its one I'm not so familiar with. I'm used to the endurance races where you lock into a sustainable rythm and just spin to your hearts content. This however I found much much harder than any other event I've done before. With the lap mentality you really do not allow yourself to let up at any point.
