Its a good time to be a cycling fan if you are into road racing, saw a few guys around town today. Had a brief chat to Von Hoff at the end of the bike track. That dude is going places. And for me I think its great that he rates yesterdays win as his biggest, when he is riding for Green Edge in 12months time and is rolling around France a year after that.....I can say I saw him win his first big race In my backyard!!
I will be cheering loudest for the Hobart guys from ride.net.au I used to ride with one of them,top young bloke.
Not sure where I am going to watch from, will take the MTB up through Glenorchy to the springs and then see how far up I get. Probably near the scree section that has clear views down the mountain, just for the backdrop for photos.

I think I might have been standing opposite you and your wife? Then saw you again afterwards on the North-South track when you were de-layering? My teeth had just stopped chattering before I came past I ended up doing a good solid effort for the whole track and set a new pb. Even with it being a bit damp in places, it was the first time doing it on new tubeless tires. They have an incredible amount of grip!

That was you across the road , with Trek hard-tail?
I did go back down North/South , but left the springs as soon as the last team had passed.
Had a good ride down , didn't take long to get down into Lenah Valley.

Yep thats my hardtail. A 2008 6700 series, bit of a tank but has done a reliable 4500kms so far.
Your bike is badass. It needs a small red led light flashing across the front of it, knight rider style

Wont be long now and the link will be complete.
I live at Glenorchy , do a lot of riding in Glenorchy/Lenah Valley/South Hobart , so it is awesome to have a trail that links all these areas together.

The track builders have done a bloody good job. With skills like that around and the greater Hobart master plan for trails, the future looks good.
I have even been thinking about doing some of the XC summer series. Just pretty casually in the sport section[or maybe vets, where ever they chuck me]
Have you done any races?

Have always wanted to do one of the 6/12 hour type races (with a team) , but just haven't got around to it.
I have just ordered a road bike , after 20 odd years of MTB riding.
I do have a bit of a desire to maybe have a go racing that , with the vets club.
Will have to see how I go adapting to skinny tyres first.
Looking forward to it , except to the lack of disk brakes on roadies.

Its good fun, I dont tend to push that hard on my own.
If I was not allergic to rain I would race more often

The vets tend to cancel in the wet anyway. Last sat with the Dome crew was my first road ride in the rain for over a year (had a fall on grasstree in the wet and it almost cost me a contract job) and the only reason I rode was it was sunny up at Austins Ferry when I left. Am glad I did go as it has regained a bit of confidence on wet roads.Baldy wrote: If I was not allergic to rain I would race more often
I would still ride my commuter in the rain as I need to get to work somehow and that is just along the bike track. I also have no issues riding the mountain bike in the wet just not a fan on the roadie.

Any pics Baldy ??Baldy wrote:just for the backdrop for photos.
I'd have preferred an ITT over the TTT up the mountain. Would have liked to see what two local guys (relative to me) Ben Dyball and Brodie Talbot could have done without the restrictions of a team.

You know Dyball ....aka Starvin Marvin huh ? That kid sure can climb! I remember him doing well in a race down here a while back? Cant put my finger on it Could have been on a mtb? Freycinet challenge? Or I could have my wires crossed altogether.
