Race stories?

So, I was one my last timed run of the day, speeding towards a blind corner, I get through the corner, suddenly, in front of me there's a herd of goats just standing there watching me, right in the middle of the single track! But it was okay, after a fair bit of yelling the goats scampered off into the bush...
this got me thinking though, strange things in the middle of a race, like goats in the middle of single track, must happen to everyone.

What's your story?

Cheers!

I just came home with a brand new Trance x2 (they were out of x3's in my size), and I absolutely love it!

Just wanted to thank all those that gave me advice in my previous thread Laughing out loud

cheers!

Manly Dam update for 07 Aug

Area: 
Manly Dam
Status: 
Red/Closed

Very muddy and sodden at Cootamundra Reserve, sections of Southern Cross Drive, Manly Vale Public School, in fact most areas of low-lying and flat singletrack. Becoming badly cut up and damaged in all these areas as riders fail to exercise commonsense and restraint by riding elsewhere after rain.

If you need a riding fix try Terry Hills.

Awaba multiple loops = at least 50km.

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Sunday, 8 August, 2010 - 10:30

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Ride Database Entry: 
Awaba State Forest
Meeting Point: 

Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.

Show on Google maps: Meeting point. Login or register to get directions.

I have two reasons for organising this XC group ride.

1) I let out too much air from my rear shock by accident... I need to borrow someones shock pump. Anyone?
2) Training for the Angry Doctor.

I'm looking at achieving at least 50km of Awaba fun. Nothing too fast or strenuous. I'm not racing, just training. Stretching and eating breaks will be included every lap or two!

Gym Bike!

with all this crap weather lately I have chosen to stick to the gym. All the decent trails are either waterlogged or closed. I have ventured up to Oxford Falls for a bit of DH / Free riding as it has good drainage and the return walk back up the hill are good for my fitness.

If this weather continues I will have to learn how to program the Gym bike to add in hills. Perhaps some spin classes or maybe some road riding would be good.

Got to get fit for the Wild Wollembi 60k next month..........
