The Masters of NoBMoB
To save highjacking the general 2015 Mont thread, I'll start a new one.
I was a late callup for this year's event and had an absolute blast. The trails at Kowen are quite simply brilliant and the general vibe of the event is first rate.
And it seems to me that there are a lot of blokes on this site that fall on the .. let's say... more mature side of MTB - that is over bloody 40!
So I'm making a general callout to the over 40s amongst us that want to be in a team of 6 for the 2015 event.

Half Fling II
At first I was very disappointed with my time as this year I actually did some training and rode lots of hills, even rode broke back mountain, felt good, pushed where ever I could, drafted behind my faster mate, I literally had nothing left at 100 metres to go and had to granny gear over the line. But only 2 min faster than my fatter arse managed last year! Ok so I've calmed down now poured over all the stats and it looks like (for me, at least) the course was 10-15 min slower? General agreement on this?
Manly Dam social ride
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
Doing the extended loop, all skill levels welcome.
1101 = 13?
The leadup to this race, my final one of the year, was perfect for me. Training started the week after the Kowalski and weekend efforts consisted of 3 - 3.5hr ride duration, up to 55km in length and I tried to get in around 1000m of ascent per ride. The hills of the Oaks, Wisemans Ferry, Cascades, Nth Turra and Ku Ring Gai NP provided a good challenge and, along with a quick pre work dash around Lane Cove NP each week I felt I was ready for my first Half Fling on 4 hrs riding per week which is pretty much my maximum given current life priorities.
Some other points for the leadup:
