anyone dropping out of the sydney 24hr?

due to people scaring me on the pinch climbs on this course i've decided to give it a miss as my first 24 solo attempt.
my last minute decision on this leaves me without a team for this event.
if anyone from a fairly competitive team drops out could you please consider me as a last minute fill in.
those who know me know i've been training hard lately.
those who dont know me, well, ive been training hard lately!
whoever you are, i wont let you down.
p.m. me if anything comes up.
thanks,
gazza

MotionX-GPS on my iPhone

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I just downloaded a free app on my iPhone from the app store called MotionX-GPS. I got the light version which is free and there is another version which you pay about $3 for. The free one is unreal, but i may end up getting the paid version to support this great developer.

Anyhow below is the information that it gave me after a ride when i chose the option to email the ride (track) to me. To test it i just did a road ride around Homebush and didn't start it properly until i got to Silverwater.

For sale and looking for a good home. Would suit a jump bike or for someone that is just getting into MTB and would like some decent travel on the front, or even for one of the kids. These forks have a lot of life in them and have been completely brilliant to me.

130mm Travel
Fully internally adjustable, adjuster included.
Super plush action you only get with real coils.
Completely Bomb proof!
IS Brake mounts, but also have the V brake mountings.
Steering tube cut to 220mm

The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.

Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)
Meeting Point: 

By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST PART CLOSELY; The meeting point is not the playing field. It is on Illawarra Road opposite the nuclear reactor. Park on the road shoulder. It may seem an odd time and day yet I work the weekend so it's the best I can do. Plus, I rather like late arvo rides.
