BMORC 6 + 6 male 3's 4th place
Just a few quick points from the weekends race;
- Team BMORC re-grouped for the first time in 12 months, around the anniversary of one member nearly dying in a car accident.
- I got sick on the Thursday before the race and struggled all weekend but still managed some OK times. I popped a Sudafed each day so I guess I'm a drug cheat according to the new banned list.
- The solo 24 riders were sent off first which made our opening lap interesting to say the least - at least I got to chat to Gazza most of the way around.
3rd place for BMORC - Awaba 7hr
For some reason I can't link to the original calendar entry through BMORC but below relates to this race; http://nobmob.com/node/42470
Round 3 of the Singletrack Mind series was back at Awaba. Awaba is a really fun track to ride and pretty fun to race on too.
Craig and I headed up on Saturday and got in a couple of recce laps - luckily we did; Camel Back was bunted off, forcing you up Straw. There was also a new section of track not long after that was loose, off-camber and quite technical. Great for riding, not so good for racing with people of differing abilities around.
BMORC Winmalee get together
End of White Cross Rd, Winmalee, NSW. There's a small parking area here but it's a standard suburban street so overflow isn't a problem.
Ian and I are heading around the Winmalee loop on Sat. morning. Bees nest and Grose point are on the agenda. Will adjust speed of ride to whoever shows up. I'm still recovering from a broken wrist so I can't push too hard.
32 degrees for Saturday, so an early morning ride is preferable.

Correcting misconception and false truth
- BMORC supported the council paper that went to council 16/03/2010 which recommended the closure and rehabilitation of Nichols Parade downhill trail. This is in the council records.
- BMORC supported the formalisation of Old Bathurst Road trails to a sustainable internationally recognised standard
- It is not illegal to ride on a track located on council land unless sign posted otherwise by council.
Wallpaper + High res logo
I've still been experimenting with the software from time to time and created this wallpaper. I have also uploaded a High res logo for those that need it.

Also includes a legal DH Track.
Blue Mountains riders need your help
Here's news just (well, it's been there a week, but I've been slow) in of a new trail advocacy groups getting started up in the Blue Mountains. One of the founders has described it thus:
The Blue Mountains Off Road Cyclists BMORC has been setup up to be a resource for riders in the mountains. Its aim is to bring together the large number of riders in the area into a more unified community that will improve the social nature of riding and the better sharing of information. Further it will try to become a common voice representing riders to work with council to try and improve the resources for sustainable riding trails in the area.
It's early days as they are just getting started, but at the very least please take a look and if you enjoy riding on the trails up there please give them a hand and show support. There is a 'Register your support' forum here:
P.S. BMORC.com (like NoBMoB, CTMBC and a few others) is part of the Global Riders Network - logins are shared on these sites.
