The course
Great first Fling!
This was my first Fling. I fell into it by accident during the Sydney to Gong ride, a friend offered me his slot as he was flying out for work and couldn't attend. In the lead up I wasn't sure what to expect. Not sure whether to do the Half or the full, I erred on the side of caution and did the Half. Good choice. What a great day it was.
My First Event - Half Fling.
So I completed my first ever event 
Wasn't quite sure what to expect but knew that I would be able to complete it. Just made sure the bike was in good working order, ate well on the lead up and most importantly for me didn't overdo it doing other exercise leading up to it i.e. no spin classes and leg weights!!
As for the race I started in a group with Bernd, Craig, and Andy Bloot who of course left me standing on the first straight. And I also got passed by an awful lot of girls near the start! "Don't worry" I told myself they're all fit...........and can ride a bit too!!!

NSW MTB Meetings for 09 race season
Hi everyone,
For those of you who might be interested I have attached a email i recieved about the NSW 09 MTB race season.
Appreciate this is kind of late notice but we're having our annual get
together for the XC side of things this thursday the 6th of Nov. Other
disciplines will also be having meetings over the next few days so if you
have any interest in the running of MTB racing for your respective
discipline in NSW at all, I encourage you to come along!!
Details and loose agenda's are below:
Cross Country meeting at the Dunc Gray Velodrome, Carysfield Road Bass Hill,
Giant Talon 07 Model/Parts
I have a 1 yr old Giant Talon 2007 model (size medium 19inch) with a broken frame for sale. The frame is a write off and has been bent and cracked due to a car incident. "Watch out for moving trees when camping"!
Other than the frame itself, the parts are in good condition and have recently been serviced by Woolys Wheels in Paddington.
This would suit someone who wants to build up a higher sepcification performance bike or is looking for seperate parts.
Deus Bike Swap
Hello
Is anyone going to the Deus Bike Swap Meet this Saturday morning? http://bffsydney.org/bike-swap-meet/
This event was also included in Han's forum topic last week:
I am going down to check out all the bikes, may find some parts (bling, bling) and try and sell my bicycle.
This is a first time event, which means there are no expectations on how the event will run. I have spoken with the event coordinator; he mentioned there are all types of bikes, and equipment. It is run on an open air car park so if it rains, be prepared to get wet.
