Brand New In BOX - NEVER RIDDEN
3 Ring Cricus
We decided to camp out the night before and I wish I rode the 20km night ride - looked like heaps of fun.
Come race morning it started drizzling and continued to for the whole race.
I was initially thinking that somewhere around 2hr30min was possible after 2hr32min at the Husky. I had a good few weeks training and was feeling good. After looking up some past results from others on here, I changed that to 2hr45min and ended up with exactly that.
3 Ring Circus
After some arm twisting by Sloany, I picked up my entry for the Circus. I love the Wingello trails, but have yet to do this event - something about the cold Southern Highlands in the middle of winter.
Anyway I find myself of the start line, with probably the biggest Jet Racing contingent we have seen to date, the front row dominated by the red Jet uniform. The difference with this race, was that the vibe was alot more relaxed, everyone looking for a good day out, on some of the best trails in the State. Hugh's pre event startline banter also adds to the relaxed nature.
Free-zing Circus
When I got out of the car at about 8:30 for the long walk back to rego, it was 7C. When I got back into the car at about 1:30 it was 7C. Only difference was that by that time I was wet, chilled to the bone and a bit disappointed about another slow time on another wet track.
Three Ring Circus / Season Wrap...
So - as they say in the movies - "That’s a Wrap"
Season 2011 / 2012 is now done for me.
The 3 Ring Circus yesterday was my last race for the year. Its probably my 2nd favourite race on the calendar (behind the Convict 100) and hold a lot of memories for me.
I went into it this year knowing that it was the last race before a break from the bike, and also knowing that I hadn't really been super motivated to train since the Husky 100km.
My weight was up (not ideal for the hills of Wingello), and my legs were weaker. I knew though that I just had to push hard one last time….

Lane Cove National Park update for 22 Jul
It was pretty wet today. There aren't many really muddy sections, just enough water sitting on the surface of the trail to make sure your bike gets filthy.

N+1...new roadie...with a motor!
This is my new (roadie) ride for when the trails are too wet.
A new roadie... with a 500 cc thumper!
A Royal Enfield Bullet - it's the bike they forgot to stop making....it has now been in continuous production since 1948.
I had some great times when I used to ride one through India back in the olden backpacker days...sweet memories!
Now this beauty came up on Fleabay. It is the modern, updated, low maintenance version, with EFI and disc brakes. Only one year old and you get all this engine engineering, tons of chrome and steel for less $$ than a Carbon 29'er....
