Awesome news!!

I can only assume you started in one of the early waves to be able to make a statement like that. Admittedly, I started in the last wave so I got the course at its worst, but I thought last years race was the muddiest, filthiest ride I've done in 13 years of MTB'ing. Felt like I spent half the...

The area allocated to teams of 4/6/10 seems very small this year. What's the policy regarding camping in areas not shaded on the map. Is it OK to camp there? My assumption is yes, provided you are not too close to the track.

Are you allowed ride the section from the picnic ground down to Jenolan caves? I've never ridden that section because I thought it was off limits. Can't see why it would be though if it's mostly firetrail. Mick

I had a similar problem with my '08 Anthem just recently. The top left side bolt fell out, which I didn't notice immediately. As a result the bearing on the right side was also destroyed. Had to get both sides replaced at a cost of $85. I've learnt now that I need to check the tension in the...
