Angry Doctor 100km first time - advice needed.

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Well, I've been riding for a while, but not this far. I ride for fun at Awaba and Ourimbah, but this 100km event has me a little worried. 50km would be fun! 100km? Why did I bother listening to you Andrew..... So, any advice?

1- Is there overtaking/passing etiquette?

2 - Do I really need some vasoline?

3 - Dust mask?

4 - Extra equipment to carry besides chain lube, tyre puncture repair kit, etc ?

From BlackHeart Events:

"Keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks for a big announcement on a future event. 100km? 100 miles? Bigger? All will be revealed soon, but it's going to be a corker!"

Interesting....

4hr at Awaba this weekend - which bike?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I've entered in the Rocky Trail 4 hour race at Awaba this weekend. I had the best of intentions to get there and check out the course prior to the race but that just hasn't happened. So I'm wondering: what is the course like and which bike?
Do I go for comfort and ride the Stumpjumper dually, or do I ride the Gary Fisher 29er hardtail?

Jetblack 12hr venue changed

Hi all
i received an email last night from Rocky Mtn Entern and they adv that the event is being moved from Yellomundee to Dargle Farm (outcome of meeting with NPWS).
So much for our recon rides at Yellomundee.
I've emailed RME asking them if the Dargle Farm venue is open to the public outside of race days but no response just yet.
Does anyone know if it is open to the public and if so has anyone ridden there lately?
thanks
Montana

Sending a bike to NZ (and back)

Hi, for various reasons when I head off to Rotorua, New Zealand in October for a holiday and to then compete in the Single Speed Worlds (beer drinking competition) I won’t be able to fly with my bike.

So, I was wondering if anybody knew a good way to send a bike from here to there – and back again for a reasonable fee?
What mean is, UPS just quoted me $800AUD one way! – Crazy..
Of course I will have the bike professionally boxed. And the weight should be no more the about 14kg’s maximum once boxed up.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
