My First 100k event
My plan was not to get the adrenaline get the better of me and never to go full stick. A steady pace was the plan. I started reasonably close to the start line and during the first kilometers people were zooming by me, I managed to not get caught up in their frenzy. That worked as most of them faded pretty quickly after 5 - 10 ks and I started to pass them.
Anatomic saddles...
Brian, Buck
check out the Allay saddles...the intro sequence on their websites says it all....
I've been using their "Sport" model, which fits the more upright riding position on the Enduro. Available at local shops.

Fling Time
After a week in the kitchen discovering a new endurance super food I knew a good race was about to unfold
I had a good spot close to the start before the race so I wouldn't be held up in traffic too much,the start gun went and both Shaun & Whisperer rode away from me I couldn't seem to go fast at first must have needed to warm up.
Caught Whisperer at the first transition were we joined forces and rode together for a while then it was my turn to ride away.The half way hill was long and tiring had to get of and push to give the legs a rest.
Highland Fling 2008
My weekend got off to a bad start. While I was putting up the tent a crazy black inch long ant bit me on the finger. Boy did that hurt. Thanks Pikey for the Stingose. It helped a bit!

Hi,
thanks to all for a gr8t weekend! Very funny night at the camp site!
I'm stuffed, but happy!!
Except for the Japanese chain ..........the FAT was super fast, but I have broken the chain only 6km after the start! Thanks Lance for stoping and offering help, and all other riders who offerd help, Thanks.
it took me about 20 minutes to make everything race ready again .... Yes, unfortunately I have not put on the Made in Germany Rohloff chain on the new F A T ....! Fool!!!
Race was as follows:
sorry i missed you guys
Due to a late arrival and opting for a motel, then turning up late in the morning and farting about only to realise that the race had started, i missed the usual social aspect of this ride.
look out Wazza, here i come!
had a stupid hook up and almost decided to give up. keep racing and have taken more than a minute of my best. and i didnt feel like i was going to die. bonus.guess this means i have to try harder. look out Wazza im gonna break your record!
Pre-social Duckholes/Centre lap
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Terrey Hills Tavern, eastern carpark, Aumuna Rd, Terrey Hills, NSW 2084
For those early work finishers (ie bludgers like me) a lap of Duckholes/Centre tracks, returning to the Tavern and meeting up with the social ride for a second (recovery) lap, then dinner. Yummy!
Aim is to do this first lap in 45 mins or less (barring crashes/mechanicals)-steady but not race pace.
Shhh... don't tell the Rush
It's no secret the Manly Dam circuit has been getting easier over the last year or so, but this is just silly...
I went over there this morning with a plan to do a few laps at a fast but sustainable pace. After last week's road escapade and the Fat Tyre coming up wanted to make sure I hadn't forgotten how to ride MTB circuits
