Great day
Awoke to find that it was somewhat warmer than the 6 degrees last year so put on just arm warmers and my sealskinz socks plus usual kit. Big bowl of cereal and then a 500ml can of "Mother" with 160mg of caffeine and 200 calories in the car on the drive to St Albans from the Rosevale caravan park units near Wisemans.
Cancelled Rides
Has anyone noticed that the calendar has changed? No? Well do a hard refresh (control-R) for most and you might see that cancelled rides now show in strike through.
This means when you cancel a ride just edit it and change the status to 'Cancelled' (or one of the other reasons). No need to change the subject and no more silly 'Terrey Hills *** CANCELLED DUE TO SOFTIES ***' titles. 
Enjoy! 
Great day
What a terrific day!
Arrived early for rego on my first big organized XC race not really knowing what to expect. Nervously lined up with the first wave with the hazy strategy of hanging on with them if I could and just seeing what happened. This worked out OK until the big hill, which I walked along with pretty much everyone else. After the hill I found it hard to maintain the pace and was being passed a bit. Found my legs again after abt 25 km and it was all good from there. How much fun was that downhill!!!!

Where to begin, I picked up Gary about 1.30pm Saturday afternoon and it was cruisy traffic free drive to Wiseman’s Ferry and then straight onto the ferry. We arrived at the church mid-afternoon and started to enjoy the warmth, serenity, good company, Christine’s special Strog and a few beers (John I think 8 is the magic number of beers).
My Cold night in the forest
well once again i was on my own , well apart from the Mont track builder , but it was pretty thin on the ground for my Nobmob friends , i suppose a few of you had a pretty good excuse from not turning up this time , some little ride up north ....pretty soft really ....hmmm . We took of at about 6.30 with lights ablazing and scaring roos all over the place ...oh yeah we were at Sparrow hill , and it was bloody cold too shorts and long sleved merino , jersey and a long sleved jacket to keep me warm .
Finished It - Will it be the last 100km ??
First of all, a big crongrats to the boys and girl with their awesome times and podium finishes. And of course congrats to everyone who finished.
Thanks to Christine, Nic, Stuart M, Georgie_Andy, Pikey and Jay for the company around the course. Sorry I bailed on the 90km mark but thought I would sneak under 9hrs, alas not to be.
Huge thanks to Christine for the church, certainly makes it alot easier.
Must admit the 100km course is sooo much better than the 50km course to ride.

Davis_jnr is BIT
Well after months off the bike and pining for the dirt, i finally made it to Dirtworks.
With a little road time under my wheels i felt decidedly underdone prior to Sunday but in good spirits probably due to the great company at the church and a couple of nice Sat arvo beers.
Come Sunday morning an early rise was inevitable due to so many deciding to punish themselves with the 100km.
First 100Km race
The first 100Km was tough, after that it got much easier.
First OZ race
It was tough. Tougher than most of the races back in South Africa. Battled to keep cramps under control which slowed me down a bit. Nevertheless, satisfied with my time.
clip in peddles
Having just completed the DW100 with flat peddles (I think i was the only one that was not clipped in) i think its about time for me to graduate to clip ins.
I mainly ride Red Hill and have seen some unfortunate incidents with people not clipping out in time..
Looking at whats available, I see that there are some clip in peddles that are incorporated in a flat peddle, seems that this might be useful for both occasions.
Should I bother with those or are they just the worst of both ( not a good clip in and not a good flat peddle )..
thanks in advance
