Lisdale Successess
While NoBMoB is all about social riding (as displayed by all the jolly fun on Saturday) there seems to be an ever increasing rogue element of really rather good (dare I even say, professional) riders in our midst.
Yesterday at Lisdale NoBMoB seemed to be involved in two first place positions and another two podiums. We even got a shout from the Aussie champ (pictured here on her way to winning Solo vets by a lap) as part of her acceptance speech. The very hastily put together (and named) team 'Beth Beth' (Erm... Beth accompanied by Junkie - yes, she did most laps!) stormed home in first place mixed pairs.
Other podiums were grabbed by three old buggers (Steve01, Dylan & Lord Carlgroover) second in threes masters as Alex, Supagav & Scott scored second in the threes mixed. Reckon that 'mixed' thing might be a misprint on the results? 
Awesome work everyone. And all the social riders out there need not be scared - there are now so many of us buggers that someone has to come out smelling of roses sometimes!

Nationals Report
Here is some up date..
After a horrible night in the rain ...we got up to a clearing sky.
The track was was damp with a few puddles, this makes for a very different track to the Scott24. Well Vanina was in the first group of races for the morning. After bit of a rushed start with been very disorganised (rider that is) they were off and racing. Vet woman which Vanina was racing did 3 laps of a 7.5km ish course. V Finished In FIRST place over a minute clear of second.
NoBMoB now has an Australian Champ as part of the Group!!!! YEAH!!!!
Both Alex and myself will race at 8.30am tomorrow. We will update once we finish tomorrow.
The racing is bloody good to watch. Looking forward to the 4X tonight.
Over and out!
Alps Epic has been cancelled
Says on their website (http://www.alpsepic.com.au/) no where near meeting the entry requirements.
Guess this means that those toying with one of the epics (the other being the Mountains To Beach Stage Race) have an easier choice to make.
Nationals this weekend
Hey,
V and I were planning on heading down to Nationals and the car we were hoping to get wont be ready for another couple of weeks. Thus we are now looking for a ride to Canberra this weekend. More than happy to split costs and would prefer to not use the train if at all possible. So is there anyone out there with a couple of spare seats and room for a bike or two...
