"Absolutely amzing how well the track held up.  I was lazy and used my worn rear Crossmark and half worn front and didn't slip anywhere. Apart from sore legs, back etc I can not complain anout anything - my bike worked perfectly.  It…"

"Thanks for the replies,  I think new crossmarks and try get a tool bottle and use it in my lower drink bottle holder which i can not reach when riding anyway.   Goodluck everybody."

"This is the least prepared I have been but I guess a lot of people are in the same boat.   I currently have fairly worn CrossMarks on the bike, I have some new ones so thinking of putting them on, the worn oens are OK but I think will…"

"It is still very boggy out at Kowen.  But people I met out there who had been to Bruce Ridge said it was perfect.  There is also some unmentional place starting with J on the other side of Queanbeyan that is also supposed to be…"

"Hi Daniel,   Thanks for the update.  Not sure what I am doing over Easter yet, I will probably just do some boring cleaning up around the house and go for a ride  around here but if I change my mind I iwll let you…"

"Hi,   This is a ride I have always wanted to do since getting half way at 21 (26 years ago) with some mates who refused to go any further so we all turned around.   Is this still happening at Easter?  If so what are the plans -…"

"Thanks guys, I am keeping my fingers crossed but I expect the shoes have gone.   I would also like to say I thought the event was extremely well organised and the organisors and volunteers did a great job.   I am looking forward to seeing…"

"Report for the Mid Life Crisis team,   I had planned on doing lots of training but as everyone knows all good plans never work out.  On the long weekend I went out and did two laps back to back in 1:17 and then 1:16.  However later…"

"Well I will have a look around 12:00 to 12:30 for anyone that matches the descriptions.  I will be on a White Giant Trance and my brother in law on an Orange Hardtail Avanti.   So what does a KISS bike look like?"

"What I want to know is can you use the old AS2063 standard next year.  The old standard has a big red sticker and the new one has a little white sticker.  I know the shops can not sell the old one after 30 June this year but assuming you…"

"Hi,   Well I will be picking up my Brother in law a 8:05am, going back home to assemble his bike (and clean mine) then head out for a lap probably about 12:00 and then registering at 2:00pm and then either going to shops to buy stuff we…"

"Team details are up - what a lot of riders.  Oh and Blondie I assume your name is the girl version of mine :)   Well the only SS riders I know are pretty hard core and fly past me.  But they also seem to get a lot of DNF in…"

"I will check your times out.  You must be all serious riders to do it single speed.  I went out to the track with one team mate a few weeks ago and he was happy to do it all on the middle chain ring however will I am sure I could do it on…"

"We are in the Men Over 40's team of 4.  What Category are you in?   The first year we entered he Scott was as a team of 3 men over 40.  All three of us had bought new dual suspension MTB's that year and I made a joke about…"

"Cool - A Mid Life Crisis group.  That is the name of my Mont Team - I came up with the name for the Scott a few years ago and the others thought it suited us so have used it since.  If anyone wants to find out how we went after the…"
