I know a few years back Simon had a go at trying to get some CX races happening at Tempe, but came up against some approval problems. Fast forward a few years and we're about to finish of the first ever National Cyclocross Series. Entries have now opened for the support events at the Final rounds so...

alchemist

Wander in to your favourite bike shop and see what hard tails they have. Giant, Merida, Apollo, Malvern Star, GT & Mongoose all have reasonable offers in this range.

At this end spending a little more money will give you a lot more performance, especially with regard to the forks.

alchemist

Sold out now. The 600 ride limit reached (plus a few more)

alchemist

Less than 80 spots left for this.

alchemist

I'd expect this to be a very easy going and friendly event. For a lot of people there it will be much more about remembering Jimmy than a race.

alchemist

Ended up doing 350km's all up towing the track bike. Quite an experience!

Rob P and myself will be riding there the day before via a rather convoluted route, and maybe riding back... We will see

So it seems! What's this maybe riding back?

alchemist

I spotted Rob Parbery as he flew past me on his singlespeed cyclocross bike moments from the finish line - bloody well done.

Vic promises me she's racing it 'cross next year

alchemist

I like to rotors, I wonder how well they'll work.

If you're going only for look they work very well, if you want use them for stopping not so much.

alchemist

In case you missed it

Update, will be tomorrow night.

alchemist

Allegedly on Sports Tonight at 9:30 tonight on One HD there'll be some action from the BHP Billiton Appin 400 and interviews with Gordo & Katrin Van der Spiegel.

alchemist

Appin is a hard track to eat and drink on, there's only really a couple of places where you have the chance to and they are both pretty short. For some last minute training before the Scott 24hr there is the Singletrack Mind Race 8 hour at Appin on the 25th September . http://www.chocolatefoot.com.a...

Results are up over here

alchemist

58km/hr now, previously I'd only been hitting 53 to 56.

alchemist

People told me to watch for a split, but I hadn't competed in a team race before and I my legs got the better of my brain... The following italian pursuit, i was reportedly allowed to close the gap and then drop back, but didn't hear a word Crafty said over the PA. Lessons learnt. (Sorry Parbs) No ...

alchemist

You might like to check out the WSMTB 4 Hour Series... First one is a twilight race so you'll need lights for the last hour or so.

Saw a fair crowd of DH riders out there coming to terms with right hand corners

Results are up over on rotorburn

alchemist

One question... Last year I kept banging my knees & elbows, any recommendations on amor/padding. Worth the trouble or not good for this type of event. I find any sort of armour too warm for anything other than a 5minute down hill run. You can reasonable light stuff designed for XC rather than D...

Just in case any one wants to warm up for the Scott, the Western Sydney 12hour is on August 8th. http://www.rockytrailentertainment.com/ As a bonus Paul Craft will be commentating all day and with no Raw Track on August 7th it will be the only way you can get your fill of Crafty's dulcet tones on th...

After driving home from my first few 24hrs I always spend Sunday night in Canberra now. Much better to have the day off or get up and drive back to Sydney for work the next morning than to have this happen... http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs035.snc1/3275_86781975427_646750427_2922306_...

Nikki promises next time she'll ride fixed.

alchemist

I'd like to see the full policy, but my attempts to find it online have been unsuccessful

You need to contact CA

who was the photographer?

Me.

So much red out there it was like a DHBC picnic.

The man himself launching and attack

alchemist

Nice effort Simon, you had a few Canberra locals scrambling to the results to make sure your lap times weren't quicker than theirs. The interim results have you as doing 9 laps although with 2 red laps in a row.

alchemist

See all you Llewellyns down there

alchemist

Theres no one actually riding in it from dulwich i dont think, but the make beleive odds is funny too!

I think his odds are probably spot on (not that any one bets on cycling in Aus

)

alchemist

Sheesh, need a kidney next year to make the list ?

To make that list you need to improve your pre-race (or during race) drinking routine.

alchemist

No trophy, just the people's ovation and fame forever.

alchemist

There's a bit of misinformation/embellishment going on with the actual facts, but the admiration of the people for Lindsay's accomplishment is clear to see! Facts we don't care about facts!
