Highland Fling (Half) - equipment list
I am entering my first mountain bike event, the half fling and have a couple of simple questions.
I generally do a lot of road riding so my fitness is about right, and I ride trails, approximately once a month. So I certainly wont be the most technical out there, but should have decent fitness to carry me through.
With this being my first event, I'll be riding an aluminium, hard-tail 29er.
Highland fling ride alternatives
Hi all,
I will be accompanying a friend who in turn is accompanying a friend who is racing at the Fling. I was hoping to be able to ride while we wait for the racing friend to finish, but looking at the course map and not being to familiar with the area I'm not sure if this is possible.
Does anyone know if this is practical? My other option was driving back towards Welby and spending the morning riding the trails there.
Suggestions to alternative riding in the area is much appreciated.
Tapering for the fling 110k
I have never quite got the taper right for the 110km fling. To little and my legs felt slow and heavy, too much ..oh the hurt from the start. Any suggestions on what to do weekend before and the week leading up??
Urgent - need a lift back from Highland Fling
Hi all - due to unforeseen circumstances, I and a mate need a lift, incl bikes, back to Sydney (or the west suburbs of) on Sun 14 after the FLING. please pass quickly.
BIG THANKS

Elite Fling
Hi, does anybody know why the full fling Elite riders start @ 8.00am yet everybody else starts at 7.30am? Seems reverse of what it should be.

How do you guys prepare the week before the Fling
As the title suggests I am wondering specifically what sort of rides and for how long, will you do in the 7 days prior to the Fling on Sun week?
Do you ride on the weekdays in the last week? What sort of nutrition (eg magnesium supplements, etc) do you take if any?
I notice there is a six hour ride planned for Sat, is this too long so close to the race? I really have no clue, hence the questions.
