Canberra Romp during the Half Ironman....
Heading to Canberra to support/watch a mate compete in the Half Series (http://www.canberrahalf.com/) and would like to hit Sparrow (Pre-Mont 24 Training, 1 of 2) and Stromlo.
Planning for Saturday morning (12th) and Monday (14th) either trail. Anyone interested?
Majura Parkway Redevelopment
It seems that someone down in Canberra has come up with a plan to redevelop Majura Parkway and turn from standard 2 lane road into 4 lane (+ shoulders) dual carriageway. Red line on the image here shows where they plan to put the road and the thinner orange line shows where it is now.
Note that the proposed road goes straight through the vineyard and some of the most established and iconic tracks in Majura Pines such as Intestinal Track, Pooklestein, Damn Track, BMX Berms.
While Majura is a working forest and we know one day it will be cleared (in stages, sustainably one would hope) building this road in the proposed location makes no sense. Sure, there are sharp corners to remove further South, but why can't they leave the existing route around the forest and vineyard? It's not like it has any sharp turns or hills there and can easily and safely be driven at the speed limit?
Can't find the submission address right now but will post it up when I do.
You can post your comments to [email protected]. I assume just about anyone here would think cutting Majura Pines up like this is a rather bad idea?!
Mountain Bike Trips from Sydney to Canberra
Just a brief email to introduce myself. I’m putting together a small mtnbike travel company which will take riders from Sydney –pick ups at St Ives, North Sydney and Campbelltown– to Canberra for mtnbike trips. Trips will leave Sydney on Saturday morning and return to Sydney on Sunday night. All meals, transport –including bike transport– and accommodation is included. As I live on the North-side of the bridge it would be great to work closely with NoBMob.
Mont 24 Hr Wrap-up
Hi guys.
This is just a quick word of thanks to those who came down for our little romp amongst the pines last weekend. We've had a lot of email, SMS and phone calls over the last week and it seems you all had a pretty nice time. Thanks to those who responded by the way, it means a lot to us. Thanks also to the nice folks who came up at the end of the race to say how much they liked the event. It's a big job running a Mont, but it is all worthwhile when there's smiles all round.
