Whilst we are on the subject of Tasmanian mtb races, have you done the Tahune mtb marathon?? http://www.tahunemtbmarathon.com.au
They too are going into their 2nd succesful year...

[agent laraby]

the tahune will be another classic tassie event with a 50 k and 100 k option.

rode the 50 k challenge section of the course with greg and dunc (the other one ) the other day and its great riding it was certainly challenging but you could keep on the fizz the whole way, great riding!
doing more tommorrow.

there are are stacks of quality enduros this year in tassie its great to see.

didnt do it last year but ive gotten onto my event plannning stuff ealirer so ill be doing the tahune for sure this year.

quite afew of us going down there to ride tommorrow BTW

cheers dg

[agent laraby]

rode the other 50k of the Tahune MTB course today, really good going to be alot of fun (in a painful way) downhill sections are amongst some of the best ive ridden,

well dine to greg and duncan (the other one ) on an excellent course.

[drawn2mel]

Are you going to do the summer challenge?

[agent laraby]

we had a kellevie build weekend on that weekend , but i have changed it to just the saturday when imogen and chris announced the date of the summer challenge , so maybe, and kellevie will just be a casual ride day on the saturday 23rd.

should be fun

you doing it ?

[drawn2mel]

maybe, not sure yet. There was one guy who told me how hopeless my last efforts were so I might try again! I dont have the best mtb or skills..I need a loan of a small mtb so I can go solo again and at least be a little competetive.

[agent laraby]

thats genuinely dissapointing when people put others down, i remeber when i went riding with some more experienced guys and an experienced member of the ride started going on about "is that as fast as you can go .....blah blah." people like that are just insecure people who need to criticise to feel good about themselves. very rude and not what is wanted for the sport of mountain biking.

who ever told you that needs a boot up the bum !

on the topic of small frame ill ask around if you like, and with technical skills practice on stairs start small and work up.

and ill be doing now ive been conned into the boat as well !

Back on topic
Kellevie 12/24 reg opens January 20

dg

[drawn2mel]

Yep, there I was, 5 minutes after finishing a 5+ hour race for me and I get that..It kinda tarnished the whole thing. Just read about the race in the paper, it says it is aimed at experienced and novice which is nice. Ive been hitting the bike shops drooling over the mtb's...it's deadly stuff for the wallet, I came away with a new Giro Atmos helmet.

[agent laraby]

yes not cheap, but money is overatEd any way! and remeber you cant ride a giro round the course.

there are some very good options for around 2k that are very versatile. i havent been able to track you down a small bike i have a spare medium and 3 larges. so im no good to you. but once yoiuve got one you wont regret it............................................

but back on topic before mods turn on me (last time they put paint stripper on my car for going off topic) if youve ever seen my cars there is no harm done
