2013 BMORC Bash
Glenbrook station carpark.
Well - the 3rd running of the BMORC bash is on. Bring out your clunkers and lets RIDE! Get scabbing around the mountains in the council clean-up and get yourself a stunning rig for the Bash.
Remember - guidelines are:
1) Bike not to be worth more than $200 new or needs to be over ten years old.
2) No disc brakes.
3) You have to carry it out with you even if it is stuffed.
4) All stacks are your own fault for riding such a heap of S*&t
5) No clipless pedals (unless the bike came with them originally)
6) Must be prepared to have an embarrassing photo taken.
Full rigid preferred - bring your penny farthing.
7) Anything else I have missed here....................
Of course these are only guidelines and are open to interpretation.
Glenbrook for the 8:23(now 9:03) train or meet at the trailhead at Woodford around 9:30am

Well - firstly I must apologise for not posting this up sooner but I was so emotionally overcome by the ride on Sunday that I have only just stopped shaking and been able to put my thoughts into some sort of coherence.  |
Were you there and have a story to tell?

Will have to pedal to woodford due to lack of carriage space.
Unlucky Char. If it wasn't for the clunker I'd meet you at Springwood, however I don't think mine would make the trip up the hill (single speed flat out at 25, downhill, lol).
Looks like we'll have to move this - Clean Up Australia day is on and we wouldn't want to have our dungers thrown in the skip bin by an over-zealous cleaner upper-er while we weren't looking. Hows the 17th sound?
(Lots of races on in March I notice)
I'm good for the 17th.
Locked it into my wifes Diary (17th is free)
The sad thing is we will be missing J the B this year. Just hope we don't need the 10kg of tools he carry's on the pannier rack or his cool intellect.
What about the tie?
Well the tie and vest was a given for J the B.
Ah, the memories.
17th March is still fine for me. I just wanna ride!
At del rio is on the 17th, I think I might give it a go...
Round 1 of WSMTB XC is on the same day as well.
Jim wears that as his riding outfit all the time
As for his cool intellect...
Word was that he was going to wear a dress this year
Unfortunately...
Was going to say I could borrow his bike and dress (would be a slim fit)
But I'll be on my annual surfari to Crescent head
And so the crap talking begins =D!!
I still think Clips should be out. Period, no exceptions. If you need clips your too fit! Indexed gearing is also on my radar...
Also racing is not an excuse for not atendidng, this is the annual, premier mountain biking event of the blue mountains. For the cost of a race entry ebay will surely provide you with a suitable bike.
Was wondering when on earth this was going to be held, but DAMMIT, it's the same weekend as Capital Punishment
Well I have a "new" machine, maybe for next year. It's "suspension" was worn, so I pulled out the forks and discovered the "shocks" consisted of a bit of worn foam (I'm not kidding), so cut up an old thong and shoved it down the forks!
Looking forward to seeing this year's photos if nothing else (and if CP is cancelled I know there's an alternative that I won't need to worry when the bike gets wet (!)
Tristan
The CP is on Saturday so you could still make this.
Don't know who leaked it, but word is that J the B was going all out this year. Yes, he was going to bring the 10kg of tools, but this time he had a nice little basket lined up on his new clunker. Yes, he was going to ditch the tie and vest. But what was his riding clobber going to be?
Here's something the paparazzi snapped on an earlier Bash trial run through town:

If you looked like that Jim
I would never lead and would crash a lot more than I do
And when are you gonna stop malingering and get out on your bike
Too hot Jim!
Hey Jim is she coming along as your replacement?
Hanneli, you're so hot on that bike.
I'm with you Bloot, I'd be crashing a lot more too.
I'm just hoping that when Jim does get back on his bike
The rest will have made him look a bit more like her
I would gladly lose the skin
Does this fit the bill? Might be a little too good maybe...

Yes, it does seem to fit the bill. Although I will be calling for the dubious entries sub committee to immediately confirm the validity of your entry.
Once again.

Looks a S#$#load better than the Huffy I'm planning to ride...
Sounds like your bike might take out an award this year Trim.
An award will be better than taking out myself, anyone else, or unfortunate flora or fauna!
Bonus points for a track stand.
The award I was thinking about wasn't for the bike Trim.
I'm about to retire my old Spesh before the Bash ride, it's destined for an easier life now. So I'm planning something different this year. Hopefully I can get it ready by next month.

Those huffy's look nice. That's one hell of a Swingarm.
Stephen I think you should get penalized for flats this year, no 700C wheels for you!
Stephen rode his 700c bike on Sunday and all went well. Besides, will Stephen be attending this year?
Some restraint on the decents saw no flats last weekend up and back Char. But it doesn't look like I will make it this time around unfortunately.
Not meant to sound mean Steve, but 'Woo Hoo!'. My single speed just might have a chance then... ;o)
Huh, Paul! The tandem will be out to play. Maybe we should ride the beach cruiser!
Damn... how to sabotage a tandem?? I can't keep up with you guys downhill even on the Giant. Maybe you should be forced to do a role reversal on the bike? Now that would be mean!
it would certainly be interesting, would could throw an unaware stoker on!
I still have the same relic from last year.
Is it slow?
Not really, but it is very old and bumpy.
What are the bumps from Steven? Rust spots under the paint?
Everyone be sure to bring your co2 inflators, Chuck can dispose of them for us.
Is that to fill my lungs up with when I'm spinning at 120 rpm just to maintain 30kms/hr? ;o)
120rpm at 30k ????? You must be going single speed?
Yeah, that's the only clunker I have. I haven't ridden it for quite a while so I haven't changed the rear cog to a more suitable ratio. The downside with gaining more top end speed is then the climbs up, so I'm reluctant to change. That being said, the most time to be lost would be the long downhill from the Heli-pad.
So who's riding what this year?
What are the odds someone will have to carry their ride out this year?
Tandem, at least I will only have to carry half a bike.
As long as we are only carrying bikes out and not riders it'll be fine.
So, who's riding what?
Any changes from last year?
I'll be on a different bike this year, my HardRock has been retired for now. Not sure yet what I'll be riding yet.
What are you riding Rory?
I'll be on the blue machine as per the last build day...*now with gum wall tyres
