Anyone doing the Husky 50
Anyone doing the Husky 50 in a couple of weeks time? Its my first MTB event of the year, typical lack of training. Looking for a riding buddy to get round with. Also looking to have a training ride on the Northern Beaches this weekend...

All Mountain Race
Are any nobmobers thinking of heading up to the HMBA Super G All Mountain Race at Paterson next sunday?
Husky 100km - Mud - Anyone have a view?
Hi Folks,
I am thinking of doing the Husky but a mate who has done it before says that he thinks that "the bog holes will still be there but the rest will be dry and sandy". I am looking for a second opinion as I have not done the course before, and while keen, I don't want to trash the bike with mud just before the Highland Fling.
Anyone have a view?
Anyone heading to the WSMTB XC round this Sunday?
Anyone heading out to west sydney for the xc round this weekend? I should be heading out and can carpool together if anyone is interested.
Overtaking
So - we have The Scott upon us very shortly, and have just come out of a fantastic Rocky Trail Grand Prix series. There is still the Singletrack Mind series going on.
One thing that is always a bit of a pain is the etiquette of 'Over-taking'.
I have suffered a bit in some races behind slower riders, but probably no more than any other 'Elite' rider. Some recent events where things really got a bit out of hand had me thinking about it.
Scott 25 2013
Hello,
haven't seen much banter about this years Scott 25 Hr at Mt Stromlo. I've entered in a 2 man team for the 6+7 category this year.
I know a few of us from here are going. But not much chatting.
I love the hour glass configuration. My favourite is skyline followed by the Luge on the red lap.
Looks like were missing out on Internal velocity this year, but getting double dissolution & partyline on the blue lap. Unfortunately I doubt we'll get anywhere near the top or nowhere near podium....but I know a few riders from here will probably take out the 6+ 7 category outright.
2013 Wollombi Wild ride, how'd you go?
Very happy with my 3:36, not very happy they dropped the singlespeed category!
It was hot and dusty out there, managed to keep the cramps away until the last km.
dungog 3 hr
what is the date of the dungog 3hr the hunter mtb club page is not working on my lapto at the moment
NSW - Best MTB events for rest of 2013?
Having completed my first 100 in just under 6 hours at The Convict in May I'm gearing up for an enduro race or two leading up to summer. Too many options and precious little time these days with 3 little boys - need to select carefully!
Parkes - Backyamma Bigfoot - 25 Aug - awesome flat singletrack - but doing Mudgee half marathon (tomorrow - agh!) this year instead
Coolah Classic - 15 Sept - if you're keen add it in to a weekend away in Mudgee where we have the Sept food&wine fest happening.

3 Ring - tyre pressure?
Hi all,
New to MTB and doing my first race on Sunday - 3 Ring Circus.
Any suggestions on suitable tyre pressure - I ride a 29er with inner tubes and am about 78kg. I've been riding around Perimeter, Long, centre Track, Duck holes, etc about mid 30s PSI.
Any other basic tips for newbies - am guessing arm warmers will be needed plus carry a banana, sandwich or muesli bar as well as enough liquid.
Thanks heaps and apologies if this is all a bit basic.
Cheers,
