First time
What a fun fast race, well organised, friendly volunteers and over and done with in less than an hour. I had been sick with a chest infection for the weeks leading up to this so didn't do any training, but was happy to finish under the hour.
Would love to do it again next year.
Lane Cove National Park update for 24 Jun
Still plenty of water and mud around, and the creek crossings are pretty deep. After a 3 hour ride this morning my drive train was not sounding so good, but it was still a great ride.

First Offering!
This was my first recorded attempt at Camel Back Climb whilst doing a Hot Lap of the Red Loop. Felt good though there's plenty of scope for improvement. Aim is to get this down to 1 minute 45 seconds
Lap 3 is the split
Camel Back Climb
The hotly talked about Camel Back Climb at Awaba deserves a Hot Lap Challenge for it's self 
All ride data is as recorded on my Garmin Edge 500
Distance is 0.28km climbing 40metres
Instructions:
Start your timer as you PASS the Camel Back Climb sign and stop it once you have CROSSED the wooden bridge at the top.
Getting Quicker!
Finally had good conditions to try a Hot Lap. I've been riding well for the last few months (for a weekend warrior) and my fitness is slowly creeping up. This lap is a 4 minute 21 second improvement and it felt a lot more comfortable than my last offering All I have to do now is work on my ever amusing corner technique
The lap time is a combination of lap 2, 3 & 4 on my Garmin as I wanted to time myself up Camel Back Climb as well. I'm going to create a Camel Back Climb Hot Lap Challenge for all to post their success 
Back to W2G
Cold start. Pretty good crowd. A big gap between the start times for the 40-49 group and the 50-59 group, so a clear road ahead. Lost time on the leaders on the first hill at the station because they ride like maniacs... The view at the start of the fire trail down onto the plains right though to the CBD was the clearest I can recall for years. I nearly stopped to take it in. Nearly...

Anyone use bike exchange?
I've got some bikes to sell and am wondering if anyone uses bikeexchange? Not much point in paying for listings if people aren't aware of it...
Thanks
Centre Track update for 24 Jun
A bit moist with the odd small puddle here and there - nothing of concern.
Very last section at north eastern end still washed out.
