Team Groover @ the Worlds
LUCKY
I've been called a lucky guy a number of times in my life and feel luckier than most right now. Team Groover fell into place in the months preceding this race to give me my best chance at the World solo's down in Canberra. I was honoured to have so many friends and family step up and offer their help, which in turn enabled me to have my best performance ever in a 24 solo and this was my 8th.
THE TEAM

Great fun
We surprised ourselves coming 3rd in the "very prestigious" Male 6s 40+ category. For 3 of the guys on our team it was their first MTB event ever.
Everyone rode well with smooth transitions, consistent lap times and no flats or mechanicals.

Scott 24 2010
My brother qualified for the solo worlds in February and suggested we enter a team in the Scott to keep us busy while supporting him in the pits. By the time the entries opened there were a few people putting up their hand to come down so we entered a mixed team of 6.
First time at Stromlo for me, most of the other team except Cathy, my wife had done past Scotts or been there before so we settled on me doing the opening lap.

World Solo 24 Campionships - Pit Crew Report
Short Version blog update, more to come later.
I was down there as pit crew and mechanic for Carlgroover
He had amazing race, consistent laps all the way saw him rise up to third through the night and build a lead over 4th place of 20 mins. We were ecstatic, until the guy in 4th got a new lease of energy and closed it down ~8 min a lap for the last 3 laps. As the results show CarlGroover got a very commendable 4th.
Gazza did it tough, he was next to us, and worked really hard in one of the most competitive age groups. (40-44).

Around Blackheath
Hello,
I'm going to Blackheath next week-end, and I'm trying to find something descent to ride around.
Before you think, if I can avoid a track that is only fire-trails – I will be happy… but I can make exemptions.
Narrowneck look to be one of a fire-trail only…
Mount York sounds an interesting one.
Mount Hay sounds not a good idea… from what I've asked already
Anything else to suggest? or somewhere to look at?
Cheers
