Alice Springs
Hi,
what about this one:
"Alice Springs has a new MTB event... The Bullroarer
For those familar with the Central Australian Bike Challenge, the Bullroarer is the CABC re-invented!!!
Taking place from the 18th - 24th May 2008, this event is single track heaven winding through the West McDonnell rangers.
There is 7 racing stages over 5 days with the start and finish in one central location - that's right no need for car hire or support crew assistance. Each stage ranges from a 500m hill sprint to a 90km epic. There is a mixture of fire roads, sand, some single track and many thorns.
Pipped at the post...
Hi Paul
You beat me by 30 seconds - even though we rolled across the line together. Some cunning tactic?
Anyway, well done mate!!!

Fling Vertical
So, you all know The Fling was easy, right? Didn't have any big hills, right? Worst of 'em was the Halfway Hill which was only 75m or something, right?
LOL... nope! Rob has been telling people this, but noticed on his GPS profile the bottom of Halfway Hill was almost a full 100m lower than the organiser's profile made it. Wow, that makes that a 175m climb which is a bit more of a challenge - how can they be so wrong?
