"tubeless rocks! Never ever had a flat tubeless! As for 'pimping your ride' just choose a colour you like and go mad looking for anodised in that colour - you know, like headsets, bottom brackets, skewers,brake rotors, brake levers,…"

"oooh strava! the boys I ride with are OBSESSED with it -  I am certain they memorize the speeds! they love it for road and mtb - and yes, we have a 'group' on our forum for Strava Smack Talk!"

"I always thought the weight thing was just a bit wanky to be honest - all that crap about tyres, bottle holders... even water. Who cares? Don't we ride for fun?!  However! since I have had a lighter bike (I flatly refuse to weigh myself, I…"

"Boomslang - the husky 100  is a great ride, you will love it, very Australian! ...And if you stay up to Sydney let us know, we can show you 'round some of our trails! (and beer!)"

"I disagree! its not that cold at the snow! Yes, I am a big girly blouse and our cracking winter temps are about 5 outside - and in... so I have already begun lighting the fire just before 5, have re-claimed my winter riding gloves and am in the…"

"...with all that talk of beer  you must be a Single speeder at heart! Lucky you to visit down there, they have lovely trails but rug up - they will understate how cold their winters are!! "

"I am SO thrilled you enjoyed yourself! Bet you have the bug now! and I did smile to myself about your breakfast, I suspect it happens to most people at their first races (lucky for me I have a super healthy appetite). So... whats your next race…"

"Not sure how aggressive they are (...not particularly with me in charge) but I swear by my racing ralphs and don't want anything else, they are very versatile and i love them!"

"....oooooooh the Husky! The nicest one on the circuit we think - well, in the dry! :)"

"oh, am i on form or what?! yes, Glenrock with lovely trails and ocean views!!"

"I don't like Vegemite but I DO love promite and cheese on vita wheats/brits for my salt intake on those races, and I do agree, the salty food is my preferred option... As for the breakfast thing, I just fade without it - I also normally eat…"

"Just bear in mind, because it IS so flat you have to pedal most of the way - whereas in the other 100s you go up and down, so can rest your legs, but they do have a nice course there. Good Luck!"

"Vegemite? Gross! Go the Nutella sandwich!! Eat breakfast so that it has time to go down (I am obsessive about breakfast), and don't worry about if you have to walk anywhere, its good cross training! Besides, what is the point in riding up a…"

"...did anyone mention Glenbrook?! Heaven!"

"You will finish happy but mostly dont forget to eat breakfast and remember to drink! Sean says you go up the wall so thats a nice walk for you - one of our crew is doing the 25, he is an Iris bloke on a Titus, I can pm you  his number if you…"

"Sean is going along with two others from our lot up here in  Sydney - he will probably be on a Lynskey  CX bike - very pretty! It will be hilly but I will ask him to say something for you! I am not sure if The Wall is included in the 25k…"
