Wet, Wet, Wet 2
The roads were dry and it was barely spitting as we set out, but then it started to rain. That wouldn't be a problem as BOM and the Nobmob weather page indicated minimal rain during the day. However we soon found out that the trails were already sodden and muddy, but with 10 boofy blokes all wet and in the bush at night of course no one was going to turn back. As we proceeded the chorus of sand grinding metal kept us company and in my mind I could hear the Ka-ching, Ka-ching of the bike shops cash register.
Cold, Dam Cold!
I have never been so cold on a ride before tonight.
It started raining, yes RAIN not girly drizzle, and kept up for most of the ride.
Thanks to the guys that shared their lights with me as I didn't think to read Paul's post that did say burn time of 2-3 hours, I could have brought out my 2.25kg beasty battery. Doh!
Site down... WTF!?
Sorry for the extended outage just now folks.
Had to reboot the server (front intake fan needed replacing) and for some reason when it came back none of the Kernel modules would load. Lots of errors as the silly thing thinks I changed the cpu!
version magic '2.6.23.13-homebrew.fc4 mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS ' should be '2.6.23.13-homebrew.fc4 mod_unload K8 4KSTACKS '
Great, huh? So it's in a 'barely alive' state right now after I shoved just enough modules in ('-f' is your friend) to get the network going and the site up.
Just for fun one of the RAID arrays decided it needed a rebuild too, although that could be down to me having to pull the plug a couple times.
Hmmmm... think a kernel rebuild is in order, might as well upgrade while we're at it.
Such is the life of your sysop!
Scott 24 hr team
Last year I was put into an ultimate junior team for the scott (we won juniors, and came 7th outright!) there has been word we might be doing it again this year. I acutally don't think it will happen as nothing has been orgainsed as of yet and last year we were organised in june.
Just wondering if there is any teams that might like to take me aboard as a maybe (I will know weather it is on or not this weekend).
I would be willing to go hard and fast:)
thanks..
WWS Carpool this Sunday?
Hey... so who's pooling with who this weekend? It's 1h15m drive for me. Rego closes 7:45 so should aim to rock up 7-ish, which means I'll be leaving 5:45-ish (yes, in the AM! 
).
Anyone on the LNS want to join (room in the car for 3 or 4 at a squeeze) or take me along when they go?
Another Tuesday night special
Ok, sure there was frost forming on the ground as we rode but crystal clear skyes, good company, new toys and more new Single trail... What more does a guy need
Oxford Falls downhill companion?
Thought id give Oxford falls downhill a go the other afternoon and, although very rusty and wary over most of the coarse, thoroughly enjoyed it. Only problem being the lack of lift up again ,which basically meant i only managed two runs before tiring!
So just mondering if anybody would be intersted in meeting once a week, preferably on an afternoon (im a tradie so can be there for 4ish) for some runs and we can use my ute with atleast three bike potential for an uplift. As i say i am no sam hill by any means, but enjoyed it all the same.
Matt.
