24 Hour Gazza
World number 15? Well done mate, but how about top 10 next year? 
Given the look on the face, one shudders to think what Martine is doing back there! 
JetBlack 24 Hours Sydney 2011
Del Rio Resort is on Riverside Drive, Webbs Creek, NSW.
We opened registration on Friday and they starting to come in already.
New in 2011 will be a 6+6 hour option and team sizes are solo and teams of 2,3 and 4.
Don't wait to long especially if you want to book a cabin. We reserved the entire resort and it will fill up very fast.
There is the boathouse and the cabin which house 32 and 20 people - if you guys want to get organised and get maybe 3-4 families together and book those it might work out really cheap.
Rider cap is 600 across both 6+6 and 24 hour races.

Team Groover
Team Groover all enjoyed themselves this weekend and I'm very grateful for all the support I received, my wife was there constantly passing me food and drink and even putting it in my mouth so I didn't cover it in mud. Jason my 10 year old was there cleaning the drive train or passing me food for much of the race and Toasted although a bit soggy were always there to help clean me and the drive train before another lap.
Mud is Gud!
What can be said about this race that cannot be gathered from the pictures? It was top fun despite being a little wet and muddy. Sadly it was a bit of a bike killer but c'est la vie.
The course was short and 30 minute times were expected so we elected to do double laps in daylight, triples at night and play by ear on Sunday. Not being present at the previous night's 'democratic' vote I was sent out for laps 1 & 2 but given the staggered start (solo, 2s & 3s + 1 minute, 4s + 2 minutes, rest + 3 minutes) didn't expect much traffic. Little did we know riding first would work very much to my advantage as things played out but more of that later.
It was wet, REALLY wet, but we loved it
Kinda weird, but in spite of the conditions it was a great weekend, everyone was in 'disturbingly' good spirits.
Can't say I've done a night lap before where it is teeming rain, the mud is inches deep in places, the downhill is treacherous, the creek single track section a case of join the dots of traction, and the brake pads last between 1 and 3 laps.
But then, getting out at 7.30 this morning when the track had a chance to stabilise overnight, it was good again.

SOLD! Brand New, 'Large' 2008 Scott 24 Hour Jersey
CORC recently had a clear out sale at which I bought a few items. Sadly the 'Large' jersey ordered is more like 'Medium' so is a bit too snug for me.
So anyone enter the event (or want to pretend they did) and want to take if off my hands for 50 bucks?
It's 'Large' (more like medium) white with white on black 'SCOTT' on the sides and 'Ride.24.08' across the chest, 'A decade of dirt' on the back. Red highlights on the sleeves. Large red mud blotch on the back top. Usual sponsors logos everywhere. Oh, surely you've seen them?
