Capital Punshiment
After crashing badly at the National Champs in Adelaide and wrecking my bike, the guys at Jet Cycles in Sydney worked really hard with Specialized to get me sorted as quickly as possible. A huge thanks to them for all thier hard work - and patience with me as I stressed.
The bike was finished at 3pm on Friday arvo, I loaded it onto the back of the car and drove to 'berra.
Stromlo Forest Park update for 21 Mar
Downhill Track: (21st March)
Rode the track on the weekend and it is in serious need of maintenance. Ruts are everywhere and the track is becoming overgrown by the blackberries and bushes. A once enjoyable track is now not.

Shame about that hill....
Category was actually "super" masters, but for some obscure reason it's not on the drop down menu 
This year's version almost lived up to the original hype about linking up the best of Canberra's sniggle into one great 100km race.
Starting to figure out these 100k'ers
I unexpectedly managed to grab a free ticket on friday from CB (generous Nobmob member) and headed down that afternoon a little unprepared. Given i hadn't had any time to gear up for it, the game plan was to simply treat it as a training ride. I find i learn something each time i race, and this one was no different.
Need to try harder!
Initial time was 48 minutes been riding my bike on average twice a week since Jan 2011. Absolutely spent after one lap!
Sub 5 Hour 100k...depends which result you look at!
So 6 days on from Willo and looking for a sub 5 Hour for Capital Punishment.
Got to the start and no rain and a little bit chilly but apart from that all good, headed out in the 2nd wave and came across a roadie immediately struggling with the single track, dispatched him and continued through the nice singletrack of Kowen, once again really found my flow in the singletrack and managed to pick up some places. It was a bit wet in some of the singletrack which led to a off, unfortunatly the Racing Ralphs didnt cope to well with some of wet patches, however no major damage.
road testing 1 * 9
After watching AROC fail to do anything right at last years Angry Doctor I didn't have great expectations for this race. There were a couple of substantial changes to the course in the weeks leading up to the race so it was hard to tell if it was just going to be lots of commuting on roads and bike tracks with some token single track thrown in or a good course.

question on helmets
Hi all,
question on helmets. was told by a guy at the LBS that helmets should be replaced every 5 years or so as the foam in the helmet degrades over time. therefore it's ability to absorb impacts reduce. Is that the case or are they just trying to sell me stuff?
thanks
Cancelled - Probably To Wet

Although we don't normally ride this trail on it's own, with a bit of road work it makes a nice loop from Terrey Hills shops (on Booralie Road) then onto Centre Track and back along the road to the shops.
That's the same as the more standard Terrey Hills rides.
This is a training ride the pace will be moderate with no stopping.
I intend to do Duck, Centre and finish with the Long out and back so in other words a nice solid night ride which should take just under two hours.
You will need some lights.
