Haha, don't worry - I know a bloke like that too. He's eaten dirt because of it a couple of times already but still won't listen.

Looks like a super place for a ride.
I had a dropper, used it a bit and then and ended up forgetting about it. Damn you alzheimer's :|

Another one at Super Enduro (first race in 20yrs!) and had an awesome weekend. Made some good progression on my riding and hit some things that surprised me a little. My biggest take away is I need to replace my 2 pot XT brakes with some beefy 4 pots as by the end of each run the brakes were fading badly and this put lots of pressure on my hands as I found myself braking earlier and in some of the rougher spots to check up in time.
Probably played it a little safe on Sunday and finished mid pack but as I had traveled down by myself I really didn't want to push it too hard as like BT said there was plenty of carnage and I just could not afford to be another one. Lots of fun but hot damn cannonball is a good challenge on an enduro bike....nuts some of the times being posted.

It's a punish on the hands isn't it! I drove down by myself also, which definitely plays in the back of your mind with regards to taking it easy. Cannonball downhill is such a fun track, but you need to know every rock up top in order to be able to go faster and make it a smoother ride. Picking your way down and hitting every rock is not the most efficient way down the hill!

Yeah my hands are still a little sore as it has been years since they have taken that kind of battering
I hear you on cannonball - I watched a few come through and most seem to be simply gapping everything possible and no doubt this saves the hands/arms getting to worn out as well. I did think about this but my lack in confidence in my brakes stopped me from pushing it further. Next year hopefully I will not be there on my own and therefore will be able to take a few more (calculated) risks.

i’ve tried patching cuts to no avail, turns out duct tape works a treat on the inside of the tyre, cut is only 3mm

Well done on the Otway finish! Has been on my list for a few years now but it's never lined up schedule wise.
First race for me will be next weekend in Wombat for the Shifty Fifty. All I can say is that training over the last 3 months has been abyssal so it's going to hurt

Fixed my goddam creak! I’d been methodically going around the bike checking things, circling the issue - top linkage bolt!
