my second race of the year

avg km's p/h are improving @11.07km p/h

One of the best tracks I've raced on :)with short sections of uphill, downhill, rock and not to mention the view over the edge

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has done any good rides in Bali,ie good fun single track with decent bikes. Im heading over in August with a large group and have a few guys keen on a hit out. Probably more gravity oriented but a few climbs are cool. Dont want to book up and end up on huffy's though.
Any feed back of your experience would be great.

Cheers

I have read that several cars were broken into at the Camel Farm last week however it does not appear that these have been reported to Police. Can I please encourage all of you to ensure that if your car is broken into or damaged whilst you are using the Kalamunda Circuit that you report it to Police on 131444.

Thanks again to all on the ride for waiting/returning to find me when I became separated from the group. Nice to know that Grant's promise of "stay where you are and we will come back to find you" turned out to be true!

Lap 7

First MTB race for me. Learned a lot and had fun! Decided to go off slow and not hold anyone up in my group which, given my time, was probably the right choice! Managed to pick up a few places but was suffering at the end - the constant pounding and lateral movement on a MTB is clearly something one has to get used to! Not sure if 52 is a good time to start but...

Amongst what I learned:

Reccy the entire course!: Coming up to what looks to a noob like a cliff at the end of a lap is a sure way to slow you down

first race of the season very disappointed in my time ..should not have ridden 1.5 laps of the Kalamunda circuit on saturday. time to get some more time in the sadle I think

Parking at the camel farm tomorrow is there a plan?

just looking for ppl to go mtb riding with , trails and kala etc .during the week morn rides if anyone is keen hit me up send me a msg
