The Future?
A mate of mine from Wanaka who has a ski bike business sent me this link. I'm not associated with the company at all but it looks really interesting, particularly been able to change gears under load and no chain drops!

2012 3 Ring Circus
This race was the end of a 4 week block of racing. I had done OK in the race last year so had been looking forward to it. In the week leading up to the race I had been really tired so just concentrated on doing the minimum amount of training for a taper week.
I travelled down with Dicko and after registration and a quick chat with Steve 01 we did a short warmup and waited on the startline for the briefing. It was pretty cold and damp so I chose to leave my clear glasses behind. Later I would pay for that decision a few times.

Strava???
Just a quick question, does the strava app work while your phone is on standby, or do you need to keep it on for the whole ride?

Manly Dam update for 25 Jul
I did one lap of the Dam at lunch today. Track is ok but there are some issues so caution is required in parts. As always after a bit of rain there are some sections that are a bit muddy and there are a number of puddles. Still a very pleasant ride with a welcome sunny and warm day.

Rocky Trail 4 hr Rd4
This race was initially scheduled for Mt Annan however a bit of midweek rain had the promoter swapping the locations for Rd2 & 3. I like Awaba so stayed positive despite a few ml of rain in the days leading up the race.
JetBlack WSMTB 12 hours Syndey 2012
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
River Road, Cumberland Reach. From Sackville Ferry Road, heading North about 3.1km then turn right.
You start at 9 and you finish at 9.
A whole day of mountain bike endurance bliss through pristine farm and bushland.
One of the best events of 2010 and 2011 this race is guaranteed to be a must attend in 2012. Just ask anyone who has been there about the bonfire, the Red Bull DJ, the track, the atmosphere, the JetBlack prizes, the Bernard finisher's beer or the friendly yet fierce competition out on the track.
Cleats question
A couple of questions that I am sure you guys will know the answer to.
1. I've only been riding cleats for the past six months but all of a sudden I am struggling to get in and out of them (Shimano spd). Would it be possible that because I have them on the loosest setting that this is occurring? They kind of feel like they get caught sometimes when getting out of them and sometimes I'll be riding for a while before I can slam them in. When I got them this didn't happen and I felt quite comfortable getting in and out of them.
