Lane Cove National Park update for 24 Sep
Rode through from Gloucester Ave to Browns Waterhole this afternoon. Dry as.
Unusual hazard on the cycle path at Browns with a whole bunch of skateboarders doing runs from upside the M2 down to the river. Padding on the corners, photographers, etc. Would have been an interesting challenge for the fluoro-vested traffic controller looking after the crane zone at the M2 underpass.....

Most Fun at a Marathon
Well what can I say - great event, well organised and great course !
For those that love singletrack then this is the race for you. It was hard to imagine a course that can push you to your limits and put a smile on your face at the same time.
I didn't have this race on my calendar at first, but when a spare ticket came up, and we had a crew from SXC Racing Team already going I thought what the hell, how can I miss this. I am glad I didn't miss this one.

Wanted: Kona Paddy Wagon/Redline Monocog 29er or similar
Hi guys,
Just thought I'd throw this out there before venturing into the LBS.
Anyone have a Kona Paddy Wagon or Redline Monocog 29er (or similar) which they way want to sell? It will be used for commuting to/from work, rather than using the Yeti/stable of race bikes.
I'm 173cm so medium or 53/54cm works best.
Had to put a number in the price field, but negotiable depending on condition, upgrades etc.
Thanks

Just caught the end of the article on Media Watch last night.
Check it out. http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s38...
I don't normally read the DT but the coffee shop I buy coffees at has it so I do flick through and did notice the articles there and was pretty amazed by what they were saying.
Anyway, I realise it's going over the same old same old, but thought it worth a post to see what folk thought.
Early Christmas (50km)
I'd never been to Kowan before this race, so I spent the ride feeling like a kid on Christmas Day - every turn was like opening a new present, but instead of toys I got an endless supply of singletrack. I spent the first 30kms grinning my head off, riding and occasionally chatting with a great bunch of guys. It really didn't feel like a race, just like a fun day out with a bunch of mates. My training for this event was rudely interrupted by a couple of weeks off the bike with flu, so I didn't have great expectations of a particularly fast time. But in a way that was nice...
Sniggle de luxe
Did the half, but no heroics to report here. Congrats to all that did well.
