CareFlight Woodford to Glenbrook Classic 2014
Well what a day. I set myself 3 goals for this event, 1. Start the race incident free, 2. Finish the race unbroken and bike in good shape and 3. Don't come last.
This was my first official race since starting up MTBing in Mar 2014, and last time I did something like this was on motocross bike a decade or so ago. I tookup MTBing to get some fitness and to clean/clear the lungs of 38yrs of smoking and more than happy with the result. If nothing else this will give me a basis to start with.
Woodford weather
While I was searching for more weather info before we went of for the Care Flight Oaks trail challeng I found this site.It seamed that the main weather web pages don't have a weather station but relied on springwood and katoomba.
If anyone is thinking of doing the oaks trail but want true weather this seams like a good tool.
enjoy
Mount Annan Botanic Garden update for 27 Jun
Friday afternoon. Near perfect conditions. Most of the new work on the outbound Intermediate section have firmed down and are now grippy. Good fun.

Best clothing for the Careflight Woodford to glenbrook ride
My son (14 years old)and I are going to do the Careflight fun ride on the weekend. I have brought him a pair of gloves and a under helmet bike cap. We both have a suitable base layer, I am wondering what would be the best amount of cloths to wear? I am trying to convince him to wear my second pair of bike pants under his boardies but he believes they aren't cool enough.
Camden River update for 20 Jun
Friday afternoon. Brief shower dampened the track a little but there are a few slick spots to watch for (particularly the entry to the second bridge). Otherwise, as always, a good fun ride.
