steve Posted July 15, 2007 Share I don't know what anyone else thought, but I thought it was a brilliant event. The route was nice, the venue was great and it was well organised ........ one of the best mtb events I've experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmed Posted July 15, 2007 Share Yep, that was a fantastic race. I used it as a training ride and it had everything (steep climbs, technical downhills and lots of single track). Pity it was a little bit shorter than advertised (62.5km vs 70km) I'll be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I FLY Posted July 15, 2007 Share Have to agree re the organisation and venue. I did the old race and never enjoyed the start venue. The route was also very challenging. I recorded about 950 metres of climbing. I have carried sram power links for awhile now and never needed them. Today a young Harmony rider broke his chain just before the big climb so I gave him my links. A couple of hours later my friend broke her chain. We bribed Dirt Rider with the promise of a beer if he helped us fit her sram power links. Maybe now I should go to a bike shop and get taught how to fit these links. I worked reasonably hard today. My average HR was 77% of max and I hit 88% on the climb to the mast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted July 15, 2007 Share real nice course! enjoyed it! would've enjoyed it more had i not stripped the bolt on my seatpost! only did the 35 as my nine-year-old was supposed to give it a go, but he came down with the flu. pity the farmers would "shoot us" if we did the course any other weekend.

dirtrider Posted July 15, 2007 Share I stop for beer ! The long race had everything . Nice climbs , awesome downhills and great fast flowing single tracks . The one or two jump next to the fence also made for great fun . Me and Big Ben started of together but I wanted to get a bit closer to the front to ensure a clear track on the downhill . The downhill on the other side of the tower was fairly open when I got there and I only had to take the route lest travelled once to pass a few carefull riders . While helping fixing the chain BigBen came flying past us and did not even stop to chat a bit !!! Did not see to many of the 20 hubbers there but did meet Holy Roller and introduced myself to Crux , but I could not chat with him for two long since I know people checked me out and I can not be seen mixing with the roadies for to long ! Well done to Bored Girl who took 4th in her Cat . She should have taken the 3rd spot but from what I have heard her support team (Daemon and Mini DR) could not sort out her gearing and she was stuck in the small blade most of the race !

scotty Posted July 16, 2007 Share Enjoyed the race (any MTB race i do where i dont crash i enjoy), ended up doing the 35. Found the route not too technical, with a few longish climbs and thrilling rocky downhills. Lost about 5 min due to slow puncture, but after pumping it up twice it stayed hard for the remainder of the race. Good organization and venue, will definteley be back. I think this is my rear end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
