Hi All,
PRICE DROP, please note price is ONO
Its time to move a couple of bikes on and someone out there is going to pick up one hell of a bargain.
Vanina's GT race hardtail is up grabs. It is a 9kg Weapon with the best of the best on it (expect wheels) it is FULL XX build including the World cup XX SID fork.
The bike has been used for 3 races in total, along with maybe 10 training rides. Total kms ridden would be under 700km.
The bike is close to standard Spec except for a change in seat post, seat, seat collar and stem.
Tyres for Fast Rocky Stuff
So after the sidewall on my rear tyre gave out just 10k into the Half Fling yesterday (on a fast, rocky downhill bit - subsequently repaired with gel wrappers and a bit of cardboard) I'm in the market for a couple of new tyres for my Specialized Stumpy.
Currently I am (was!) running the standard Specialized 'The Captain' tyres, but back in the UK, when I've known the trail is going to be rough & rocky (eg at the Welsh trail centres), I've tended to use Maxxis Minions, which are robust but pretty heavy.
Awesome
Wow got to the event car park around 6:30 thinking I'd have enough time for a warm up ride no no no people had already started lining up at the start line so I joined the que around 4 rows back from the front.The start gun went and the pace was on, remember thinking it can't keep going like this or I'm going to blow.Half way through first stage heart rate came down to more of endurance rate,went through transition at Wingello oval on the front of a pack of four they all stopped for water and I was left on my own had to chase down riders around 200mtr in front to get onto a wheel
A Great Day for a Fling
What a great day out. The riding was fun, conditions were perfect and the track was fast.
Manly Dam update for 14 Nov
Wet in most places but still rideable. Take it slow on some parts as there are many low lying branches along the trail some fallen vegetation have also blocked a bit of the trail.
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.

Highland Fling 2011
Another great fling for me.
Been watching Dicko and Brian train the house down for months and with a little less time available my training consisted of some solid commuting and a few weekend rides. Two rides over 3 hours since since August. I was interested to see how I would go.
My plan was to stick on Dicko's wheel for the first stage but he took off like a rabbit through the crowd and I had to relax and let him go, looked for Brian and he was gone too. On my own, pretty usual place in the singlespeed world.
Fling 2011
After a year of constant chest infections I've finally had 2 months of good health so came to this event feeling positive despite the extra 5 or so kg I'm carrying (thanks for noticing my gut on the start line ps, I'll have to go to Jenny Craig now!). My goal this year was sub 6hr - I did 6:28 last year.
Great day out.
This was a great day out, probably the best of the three events I have done this year, well organised and a great atmosphere.
Started the race hoping to finish under 3hr15 so thought I'd start in the appropriate start time. If I'd know the course and how open it is for the first 10km or so I would have gone in the earlier group as I felt I could have gone harder at the start (some people did suggest this). Reached the transition about 1hr 10 and decided to fill up with water and grab some fruit, had I not done this I would have finished just under 3hrs as per my garmin (2:59).
A Good Fling
What a difference a year makes. I actually felt that my training going into last year was better but I know that the heat and my execution on race day let me down. This year was a slightly different story but I think I just felt a lot more relaxed. We camped which meant dinner and into bed early, up before the 6 AM bagpipes for breakfast, coffee and last minute checks.
