100km Cherry popped
Having not trained for this event, and never ridden 100km before (in a week maybe), I was a bit scared about this one - so was the wife. I had dreams (nightmares) of cramps, crashes, mechanicals and helicopter rides.
Getting there early Sunday Morning when the light hit the surrounding hills, I think I did a little Shepherds' Pie in my knickers. I moved to the start line hoping to see some NobMobbers who like me wanted to complete rather than compete: and there 'The Pack' as we were apparently reffered to by the race officials, was formed.
ChainReaction "NOT AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE EU"
Has any ordered and got delivered anything marked as "NOT AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE EU" by ChainReaction.
Is this strictly enforced by CRC, as Wiggle does not have similar limitation?. However, they may have been different contractual agreement between the Manufacturer and a particular Retailer.
Thanks.

50k of ridin' - 50k of crampin'
Last 50k was an excerise in holding back and not cramping up too much.
Too much road riding for my liking. At the gnarly bits the road riders block all access and one need to take the gnarliest of all lines to pass. Then on the road they come flying past. - Bastards 
Dirtworks 2009 100km
Well this turned out to be a better effort than my previous 100km efforts. I had been a bit lazy on the training since the Mont so I had no idea how prepared I was.
Cant....type... too... tired
This will be short as I can't see the screen and my hands would be better controlled by a lorrikeet at the moment. I am really happy though, I managed to shave an hour and five from my time of last year to post a respectable (for me) 5:28. I had been doing quite a lot of shorter training rides but nothing over 70 kays so I was concerned I wouldn't go the course. Sure enough when I go to the top of the second large hill the cramps hit me and didn't leave for the rest of the ride. I just wasn't able to put the power down any more and had to limp home for the rest of the way on half power.
Sandy Trail - Cooyong Rd Terrey Hills - HORSE RIDERS!
Guys a quick comment - this is my first post here, wasnt sure where to put this...
Just got back from a ride along the Sandy Trail, at the end of Cooyong Rd, Terrey Hills and wanted to double check on the legalities of riding it after a run in with a couple of rather animated horse riders.
Long story short, came accros them at the bottoms of hills Twice (once each way). Stopped as soon as id spotted them both times but the horses were spooked. The riders went ape s*#t, to the point I was punched by one of them, and then pushed off my bike and on my wet and muddy ass.
