Forum Round up for Jan 27
Hope you were all out there yesterday. A belated Happy Australia to all! 
Just a quick round up of hot forum threads this week:
- The Black Flash made some Interesting observations regarding the different help one can expect after an off on dirt and the black stuff.
- And talking of offs, someone else asked was it time for a New Helmet?
- Rune wants a Guide to building my own MTB?
- muzg doesn't want to build, just to know Which XC dual suspension bike for under $3K?
- While others don't care, they just wanted to share the joy of My new Rig
- But what everyone really wants to know is 29er vs 26er what's the verdict
- Once you've got that bike, Motneb asked about filming One hand video anyone!
- Yet another thread surfaced on Shimano shoes
- Find some humour in the freaky snake! thread
- Elsewhere the BMORC guys should be congratulated on their BMORC BBQ Fundraiser Results!
Phew...

Mont Training: Hill Repeats at Terrey ... erm ... Hills
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
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.
After a warmup ride from Terrey Hills Shops to the bottom of Duck Holes we'll be doing:
* four to five x 5 minute seated, low cadence climbing intervals back uphill along Duck Holes with 5 minutes recovery in between
* back to Perimeter and Long possibly with a few diversions to run out the time at endurance pace
This is Session 3 from Mark Fenner's Fitness: Training for Endurance Racing published in June '10's issue of AMB.
If you can't do the full ride time that's OK. The key part is the hill reps and the first hour thereafter.
See ya there

Murphy's Firetrail - where ANYthing can go wrong!
Putting rocky gravel, waterbars (the wrong way!) and switchbacks is like adding insult to injury! Accidently had my video camera on record so I got a nice long boring video of the slow crawl upward. This was my fastest time, though I put a foot down three times - both other times I did it I only had to walk once. Ah, well... the long downhill made it well worth it!
Infinit Nutrition - Heavily Discounted Today
Dont know if anyone else uses Infinit Nutrition for racing like I do, however today they are having a pretty epic sale on custom formula on two bags and 1 for recovery.
Basically 50% off from 12-2pm today QLD time, 2.01pm - 4pm 40% off and 4.01pm to Midnight 20% off.

Its easy to mix your own formula using the guide and I will be taking advantage of this offer as its very good.
Hills
Can anyone suggest some good places for some hill training on a trail of some sort?
Something that will have a good 5-10 minute climb on dirt.
I live near the city so can access most places in a comparable time.
Thx

There's a car park (click for foggy picture) on Springwood Road - just down the way from Hawkesbury Heights if you're looking for a suburb name.
Easy social ride, maybe two laps...
And it's early to beat the heat...
