Another good result for Mixed Nuts
The mixed nuts team of Gazza and Martine, Steve01 and myself decided some time back, to do the 12 hr, as kind of a warm up to the Scott24 later in the year. So after much preparation, we headed out to Yarramundee on Friday night to set up camp with Carl Groover & Gavin and Vanina. Groover had gone down to the track on Thursday night and marked out a good area for the NobMob crew, so we had a perfect trackside position to transition from, and watch the race go by. I set up my tarp & light set, and it was all very civilised!

Wollombi Wild Ride
Hi all
Was up Newcastle way this weekend and was chatting to a couple of fellow MTBr's who were telling me about the Wollombi Wild Ride.
Just checked it out on the net. Fun event starting/finishing from the infamous Wollombi Tavern.
3 Categories - Novice 15k, Intermediate 30k, Intermdeiate / Advanced 60K rides. The Tavern is putting on a band etc starting at 1pm after the event. Event is all for charity - Hunter Prosotate Cancer Alliance So for a good cause too.
Here is an extract of the event blurb.

Menai - first ride
Holy shit. sore.. check, bloody.. check.. some awesome maintained north shore and sniggle in an hours drive.. check.
Not overly impressed with the valley single track, too sandy from the motos to get up any decent speed without washing out.

Carpool available to Ourimbah for next Saturday's ride. 2 spare spaces on rack.
Leaving Lindfield / Chatswood area around 8:30 am. Arrive 9:45 am.

A rest from training Ride @ Menai
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.
After weeks of long training rides I think I deserve a weekend off.
Have no plans as for where to go, just planning on putting the pads on, riding around and having fun.
If you haven't ridden Menai before, be warned it can be tricky in places and a novice rider would probably not enjoy this ride. Having said that you can walk sections if you wish and there's no need to worry about the pace. Like I said this is a rest from training for me so it's going to be slow.
Hope to see you there
Chris

Appin - Cheeky couple of laps
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.
Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.
Anyone care to join me for a few laps of Appin, I'll be there. Happy to ride on my jack jones but always good to have company. It'll be a social ride but at a reasonable pace with a break between laps.
I'm coming from the Inner West so 8.30am is really the earliest I care for on a Saturday.
Cheers
Dave
