Highland Fling v Dirt Works
Hey hey,
I have entered this years Highland Fling happening on the 11th Nov. I am doing the Full Fling!
My question is as I haven't done it before is how tough is it? I did the Dirt Works back in May which i felt was pretty hard...I have been off the bike pretty much since then with a knee injury and am only getting back to full fitness.
Any views would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Tom
Awaba State Downhill Finals
Well you guys asked me to post it, so here are the details:
http://www.farkin.net/news/95556/IXS_Gravity_DH_...
Probably not the best track to have your first Downhill riding/racing experience on (severe understatement), but I hope some of you can come along and enjoy the show. There will be food, raffles, industry pit area and lots of great spectator vantage points along the track.
Ralph TV segment

BMC 100km Classic: Woodend VIC – 20th April 2008
Coffs - downhill fun at Mt Coramba on Saturday and Monday
Thanks Rob for the write up of the Sunday race. You seem to have most points covered, at least from what you saw. Nice work hacking on Bruce too. But you did well Bruce - a top time given our poor preparation.
After an enjoyable road trip from Sydney to Coffs, many of the group decide that the Mt Coramba downhill trail is a capital idea, given we are racing the next day. New trails!! Preparation? What preparation. To illustrate, Steve and Gazza had turned up earlier in the day and had been hike-a-biking up steep hills (err, mountains?) because they couldn't find the proper tracks. More good work! Oh Gaz, you would come to regret this!
To describe the location of this place, the road turn off for Mt Coramba is about 1km north of the big banana. You drive along a tight and twisty road high up towards the top of a mountain, that ends with a picture perfect and stunning view of the surrounding area. This includes a 180 degree view of the pacific ocean. If we weren't so keen to get riding, you could look at the view for hours. The landscape is steep, with a mix of Eucalypts and rainforest. Very different to what we are used to on the northern beaches.
Coffs Reports
Hi all... please post your reports from the recent Coffs thingo (race) here. No DH talk, we'll do that some place else 
Coffs Road Trip
Hi all,
To get the Coffs weekend off to a great start, I thought we should organise a Coffs Road Trip. Myself and Lee will be leaving Hornsby sometime around 6:30 a.m.
Does anyone else want to make a NobMob convoy? We can stop off for a healthy breakfast (ehem, fried big breakfast) on the way. So who's in?
Bring on Coffs!!
Coffs Marathon bad weather plan? Any track condition details?
Anybody got any idea what the organisers have in mind given the likely bad weather through this week? What is the cancellation date?? Or what will make them cancel?
Any of our more northern brethren got any information on the condition of the track up there at the moment?
