Capital Punishment 2012 - 100km
Capital Punishment 2012 - XCM Series Round 2
Last time I raced this event was back in 2010. This inaugral event was a complete disaster - a mudfest in cold / freezing conditions.
I was glad to finish that event, let alone be competitive and had no thoughts of doing it again after that first experience.
Saturday morning April 2012, I find myself on the same start line once again. This time couldn't be more of a contrast to the last time.
We were blessed with a balmy 7-8 degrees, clear skies, dry tracks and not a drop of rain in sight. This must be a good sign I thought.
2012 Capital Punishment
This was my first Capital Punishment. It looks like I picked the perfect year for weather and track conditions as both were brilliant. Its a bit of a weird race with such a big untimed section. I used this to get water and have a bit of a rest. Due to the single track at the start a really suffered in the last 40km as I didn't eat enough in the beginning.
Apart from a massive OTB on the Luge I quite enjoyed this one. A shame that the results are delayed but I have my unofficial time of around 04:37:00 taking out the untimed section.
Night Ride manly
How difficult is Manly at night with just handlebar mounted spots? Thinking about a quick spin on Wednesday night about 9pm. (Well quick being a figuratively rather than literally). Is a lone lap a bit dumb?
Garmin Edge 800 on eBay
Looking on buying a Garmin Edge 800 since a while, I came today across on eBay a very cheap one: $235 with the topo map! Yeah I know, crazy… dodgy… but never know, so I bought it and we'll see how it goes. What do you think??

Camden River… it's little gem
Tried for the first time the Camden River ride, and as the descriptions says it's a little gem.
Was good to ride on non-sandy ground, like at home (in Europe).
Capital Punishment - 100km
Capital Punishment.
Round #2 of the XCM Series.
One of the classic races in the marathon calendar. Over the years the race has suffered from bad weather during, and bad weather prior to the race.
This year was different. Excellent weather in the week leading up, and on race day meant that it was sure to be fast racing.
The race is a patchwork of the best single-track venues in Canberra. Majura, Sparrow Hill, Kowan, and Stromlo - all joined together with some bike tracks, fire-roads and even some bitumen.
