It'd be nice to meet a few more people off here - I *might* be racing in Men's C at FoJCX - if so, I'll be on the green and black Merida, in my Tetris-esque Road and Dirt 8 bit kit.dalai47 wrote:I have entered all rounds of the NCXS and will be flying up to Brisbane next weekend to race the first two rounds of the NCXS in MMAS4.

Took it easy at the start as I just wanted to dust off the cobwebs after such a long time away. Was about 5th last (`42nd) 1/2 a lap in so made good time working my way through much of the field to end in 14th. Queensland NCXS rounds next weekend!

Will take it easy commuting this week so hopefully good for the nationals on Saturday and Sunday, not looking forward to 40 mins of this, 15 was hard enough.. there will be some mud on Sunday, there was a lot of water around the circuit when I went past on Saturday and the course normally crosses a creek.

Asking as I am considering now just fitting everything into the bike box rather than book a second bag. But then worried if I have a mechanical on the weekend I'd be running around begging to borrow someones wheels...

Arrived in Brisbane this morning and down on the Gold coast now even getting in a swim this afternoon. Wish I had my surf board - was small but glassy out there... Did in the end bring up spare wheels just in case. Hate to have spent $$ to get up here only to potentially DNF due to a flat.
@BenGr - yes planning on heading up to NE Vic next weekend, though naturally depending how I pull up from this weekends racing.

Got to say g'day to cancan64 and rode around on a really enjoyable circuit (mix of slow grass and tar and some short sections of single track) and then watch a blindingly fast Elite race.
Looking forward to tomorrows racing!
