New enduro event - Capital Punishment

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Just received this media release from some mates. Sounds fun!

Craving Capital Punishment?

5 January 2009

By now, all mountain bikers in the country would have heard of - or ridden for the lucky ones - Mt Stromlo, host of the 2008 UCI World Cup and the 2009 UCI World Championships! Chances are Majura Pines also rings a bell as the headquarters for the Mont 24Hour MTB event. Finally, Canberrean riders at least would know of these other local gems that are Sparrow Hill and Bruce Ridge...

Ride the Bird in 2009!

Hey! Welcome to the MONT 24 Hour Race, a classic weekend of mountain biking with mates and is a must-do event for first timers and hardened mountain bikers alike.

We invite you to enter a team of four, six or more riders and fly around Sparrow's flowing single track with huge grins on your faces. While there’s plenty of ‘racing’ to be had, the MONT also enjoys a pretty laid-back atmosphere and our dedicated event management team and fantastic sponsors are there to see you have a good time, on or off the track.

My Weekend at Majura

Spent the weekend at Majura. This would normally be awesome but I was on Majura Military training range. So I spent most of the weekend sitting up on the hill looking down across the road at the pine forest Sad

Oh well.....can't wait to go back there sometime in the future!

ACT

A bit early, but I thought I put it out there I will be in Canberra for an Expo and will be able to ride:
on the 11,12 September early morning and on the 13th most of the day.
Anyone interested? As I said it's early to think about September, but I'm definitely riding the days mentioned....

Camping Canberra or southern highlands

Kathy and I are looking to go camping for a weekend down in Canberra or the southern highlands over the next few weeks before the cold weather sets in, with a couple of days of biking in the usual pine forest areas.
Does anyone have any recollection or info on camping areas in the vacinity?
Hot showers would be nice but all other creature comforts can be forgotten about.
Cheers
Gazza and Kath
p.s. i see you took Pratiwi down to the S.H. a while ago. is Wingello ok for Kath?

Majura Pines

Hey you!

You look like you need a practice ride around Majura Pines before completing The Mont 24hr. Smiling So here you go...

This will be especially useful for those that have never been to Majura before. This will let you get used to the feel of the place. And with good reason too... Majura is totally awesome!! Laughing out loud It will take some serious discipline on race day to not stop on your lap and do the jumps and roll offs.
