how's this for an idea ok I read the recent announcement by CORC regarding the alternate solo 24hr world championship race and I thought oh no here we go again, Mont vs Scott, club vs private promoter, 26 vs 29, ss vs geared. talk about a combative lot for such a small sport. So here are a...

Great Feedback hi Riders as the race director (not the race organiser), it is great to read this feedback. I'm sure that Self Propelled Enterprises will be taking mote of your comments on site logistics, showers etc. I thought that the layout of the camping area was great, and there was...

Other events and the weigh in / ride off What do you thinks about opening up the weigh in/ride off to other events. The issue would be that some races are harder than others, ie: last years CP100 as an example. I was thinking about using average speed as a measure of performance as opposed...

CP100 Weigh in HI team, (hey there is an idea, maybe we can get some jerseys made and call ourselves Team Fat Bastard - with sponsorship from jenny Craig or Lite N easy LOL) Sorry for the lack of replies, Work got in the way big time. I did the weigh in though - a huge 89.6kgs on the 19th...

so with four competitors so far, the Power2weight race within a race is on, nothing like a good piece of motivation to make the race more interesting. I guess we need a prize(anyone got a sheep station), and a weigh-in of sorts. I'm thinking a digital pic on a forum somewhere of the scales...

Im In - who wants a challenge So it isnt sold out yet, I just entered and with a base of zero kms of riding due to working overseas, and a big fat belly I'd better start doing some kms. So my starting weight is 90kgs.....I wonder what 12 weeks of riding will get my weight down to. Any one...

Use of 29ers I noticed that there were a lot more 29ers this year at the Digicel Tour de Timor, anyone who participated want to comment on how they found the 'big wheels'? Were they helpful, did they hinder you. How did they perform on the HUGE Hills of Day two? Cheers MONTRD

Bike Bags Having seen a huge variety of bike bags at the recent Tour de Timor I can say that I was impressed with this one https://www.bikebag.com.au Plus it is a local Canberra company. Having the drivetrain off the ground is a winner in my opinion. Cheers

Sold out Yep the MONT is full, 2400 riders all looking forward to another fantastic weekend of mellow Sparrow goodness. Come 27/28 March, the same vibe will be there, but even better we have a few cool ideas we will be bringing to fruition to keep the riding laid back. Of course it is a race...
