Ahhh those were the days. I remember one of my mates recorded the Maribor DH and Dual Eliminator round off Austar onto VHS for me and I played it back to death!
Hi,
I thought that I had read somewhere during the last few months that there would be an AM race at the Central Coast sometime early in 2013. I can't find where I read this now. Was I dreaming or does anyone know of any such event? I thought it was at Ourimbah but I've never ridden there so...
Hopefully clubs will put up their 2013 dates soon. I can't speak for the Sydney clubs but the Hunter Mountain bike club DH races should be on by the end of January so it shouldn't be too much longer until dates are made. The Awaba track is about 1.5 hours up the freeway, so is a bit of a trek...
I've got an early model Contour and it does the trick. I would advise to not worry too much about bike mounts - an old tube and some zip ties and you can mount the contour to almost anything. I've strapped mine looking down on the forks and on the top tube looking backwards at the rear shock and...
Go to Bunnings tool section and you can get a stripped bolt remover kit for about $10. Basically you drill a hole into the stripped screw, then screw in a another screw that comes in the kit. This has a reverse thread to the rotor bolt and as it tightens into the hollowed out screw, it will...
I only ever use Oury. Soft yet tough. The only time I ripped a chunk was when I stacked jumping down a set of stairs onto asphalt. You can pick them up for about $15-20 from ebay. The last pair I bought was from NZ and were still cheap with postage. I think the only down side is they are not for...
Great race, I don't if I can shave a few MINUTES off my time to be competitive though!!
Did anyone happen to find a pair of red No Fear goggles lying around after the race? I lost my new pair on the first day.
Overall I think the track was great. I loved the climb with the 13 hairpin turns. Needs a little bit of work on the grassy bits but nothing a 6 hour race couldn't fix.
One down side for racing are the numerous opportunities for illegal shortcuts. I saw several people doing this around the...
Could someone please clarify that the May XC is on this Sunday the 8th?
Will the DH be on the same day or will it be on during the weekend of the 24 hour race?
Cheers,
Dave
Here are some photos of requested race no's. I've only gotten through a handful, I will post more tomorrow. There is a rainbow effect in some shots - if the races weren't on so damn early I could avoid it!
Here are some pics I took last Sunday. Let me know your race number and colours of your outfit (sometimes number plate can't be read) and I'll post what I have. I can send a high res version to your email if you'd prefer. In that case let me know: david.mossman@studentmail.newcastle.edu.au...
