A nice tribute to Willo and a great race
A well organised race run by a group of people who should be very proud of the event as it was a great way to remember the impact Willow had on so many people.
DH Hardtail VS Dually
Hey,
I been dabbling with a XC on DH tracks and ready to step up an buy a DH specific bike but wanted some input from others with DH's as to what peoples opinions are on whether a hardtail or dually is best for tackling DH trax...
A mate swears by Norco's but visually i tend to like specialized and giant frame designs, from what i've been checking out on ebay, same mate also swears by triple crown forks, should i opt for these with my first DH...?
Cheers.
wet and dry Wingello
I arrived at the forest camp on sat arvo after driving through rain and found lots of water and mud around,met up with Steve (CROMERBOY) who was setting up camp,we were going to have a ride but pulled the pin on that prefering to keep the bikes clean and functioning for tomorrow. We drove up to the event centre and got rego out of the way then relaxed over a cold beer at our campspot enjoyed some good food that was for sale and got a good nights sleep.
Riding with a shortened chain
Guys/Gals,
Need some advice,
I twisted a chain link yesterday during a Manly Dam ride. We removed the offending chain link and one other so that we could reassemble the chain and continue on the ride.
There appears to be no more bent link and the bike is running as smoothly as before.
Do I need to replace the chain immediately or can I continue as is for a little while? Can I just get two links and add them to the chain? Am I likely to damage anything by doing this?
Thanks
Now that's racing.
Decided to do the 50km option to limit pre event training and to go out and have a bit of fun.
The game plan was to stick with the front runners for as long as I could, then settle into something more manageable. It was after the first bit of new single track where I found two guys who were riding well and more to my pace and so stuck with them, for the time being. Punched out the first lap in 1h02 which had me just inside top ten, but only a couple of minutes behind the leaders. With a quick bottle change I was off for the final 25km.
lots of traffic, two flats & stopped to have lunch. oh, and i had the flu..
Red Hill update for 14 Mar
Went for a ride on Friday & its very sandy in a few patches - quite deep in some parts, so keep your cadence up high & you'll squirm your way through.
Do you have more information?

Wingello Rocks - Willo Memorial Enduro
First up, what a fitting event for the memory of 'Willo'. Back when I was getting into mtb, his editorials and race stories in Enduro mag, and others before that were really inspiring, particularly considering his humble approach and writing style. A great guy who deserves to be remembered for all the right reasons. Now, onto the race....
A Fabtastic Day at the James Williamson Enduro 2011
So the first marathon of the 2011 season, the Friday before the race my apprehension grew as to whether I had done enough training to be competitive and with Capital Punishment literally 6 days away it was going to be a good test to work out where my fitness was.
need a Mont rider
our mixed 4's team is down a rider,
Fun team, sensible pace (not in it to win) figure 5+ laps (that was last years pace).
