Dirt Works
First DW50, 2010
My First race had a great time.
Went out with the first pack (little optimistic) hit that first climb and wept a little bit, walked the whole thing. My lower back and calves were ruined at that point but once on the top of the hill it was good fun, just kept going for it at a steady pass.
Was feeling great at the 28km mark so skipped the water station, about 2km after that wasn’t feeling so good, wished I’d stopped.

DW - from a NobMob Newbie...
Hi all,
Thought add my two cents worth describing my first "real" mountain biking event - DirtWorks 2008.
Firstly, what a great set-up. Christine you're a legend! Camping? Yeah up near the "Church" she's says... Ha! Hardly! Running water, campfire, full kitchen... and REAL toilets.. no dodgy portaloos for NobMob. Unfortunately I have a feeling we won't always have such luxuries at other events!
A small improvement
You see... it's because of days like this you should never say, "never again"!!
At the bottom of last year's post on the Ditrworks disaster I ended:
So, like I said last year, "Never Again!
And yet somehow found myself on the 100Km start line at 6:30 yesterday morning. Was keen to get away with the faster 6:40 start but something didn't feel right. A quick check revealed I wasn't wearing the backpack so mossied on back to the ranch to collect it before leaving 10 mins later.
Dirt Works 50k entry
Is there anybody out there looking for a Dirt Works 50k entry.
A mate of mine is ill and will make a descision mid-week if he can ride and wanted me to find out if anyone is interested in buying his entry (for the cost of the original fee)
Send me a PM if you are interested and I'll put you in contact with him.
