Looks like we will meet 7.30 and no doubt get going 7.45 to 7.50 depending on the beer level tonight, determines how fast i move :-)

Magic, looking forward to it ! Have just finished work, so that's eaten into beer drinking time ;-) think I need to be fresh for those concrete strips though, couldn't imagine that with a dull thud going on inside !

Was a good peddle around, pity your Cruz can't climb the rocks by the river crossing :P

One up for the little wheels!

Bundu bar for the win with those burgers for sure.

Oh the mine shaft we spoke about, i am still trying to find the big steps/drop off Kerry was talking about. Seems the 2nd time she rode it, they were not nearly as big as she remembered :-) great section to add into the route

Hey everyone ...

just a reminder that nest week is the Trailseeker at VG.

If you haven't entered you won't be able to ride till late afternoon as most trails are used for this event.

and for those who are doing it, Good Luck for what is by far the best of the series!

Weather's looking good... a couple days ago I mentioned on the VG Facebook page it'll hit the 30's.. but it's looking more like mid 20's now, which is great because it can can get really... REALLY hot out there!

Specially for the guys doing the full marathon as they get to the Greek Church part of the route!
