Great Northern Road update for 20 Apr
Rode some of this today as a recce for the Convict.
Shepard's Gully is a freeway all the way to the top. Could pretty much ride 4 abreast all the way. Much easier to appreciate the rock work on the older road alignment while grinding up than it is flying down 
Been a few years since I last did the techy stuff from the top through to the Western Commission Track and it seems a bit rougher and narrowed-in than I remember. Could just be old-timer's disease... Usual stuff though, plenty of rock step-ups and roll downs, tricky line choices, sandy sections. Seems predominantly uphill in both directions!
Did some of the 68km course 8 mile track link across towards Wrights Creek for the first time. It's not used much, so there's a fair amount of leaf and stick litter and some loose little pinch climbs and drops. Turned around where it appeared to start going down, so no idea what the descent is like.

Epic scenery! Probably a bit above my level, but you can always dream Antsonline, is this your next event?

Interesting comments in the comment section about the human brain having a limited pool of processing power... I have a power meter on the Scalpel but never use the data on the trail because I'm fully occupied with staying rubber side down. One of th3 things I love about MTB is that it demands 100% attention and leaves no room for anything else.
Kids bike races
My little one, 6 yrs, is keen to do some bike races. Are there any local events with kids races?
Womerah Range update for 13 Apr
Rode this in reverse as a recce for the upcoming Convict. Pretty dry, some loose stuff on the ups and plenty of sand on the flatter bits. Could do with a couple of gentle showers in the days leading up to the Convict!
