| AlexM: | Are you doing the one at the start of June? if so what course? |
| # Posted 2008-05-16 15:47:15 | |
| NMFC: | I want to do medium but i think dad said it was too long so ill probally do the short |
| # Posted 2008-05-16 15:51:34 | |
| NMFC: | what one are u doing |
| # Posted 2008-05-16 16:01:47 | |
| AlexM: | im going to do medium most probably, i thought about the long but i decided that maybe it was too long. so medium it is. i reckon you could crack the medium its only like 22 ks or something like that. |
| # Posted 2008-05-16 16:05:04 | |
| NMFC: | ( it's 18 ) i want to but dad said ill be there all day but if i can do 13 km in 55min i can to 18 in 90min |
| # Posted 2008-05-16 16:13:12 | |
| AlexM: | Only 18!! well then i reckon you could do it in a reasonable time. 18 isn't that far on a mountain bike. and if you can do 13 in 55 well i guess it would depend on how tired you would get in the last sections.
I reckon i could do it in 65 if i pushed hard, but you have to factor in navigation on the fly, something im not very good at. |
| # Posted 2008-05-16 16:14:18 | |
| NMFC: | yer well i may have u with navigation on the fly but u can fly faster |
| # Posted 2008-05-16 16:22:00 | |
| AlexM: | Maybe, but bear in mind i havent been on a mountain bike since January, so my skills may have deteriorated. |
| # Posted 2008-05-17 11:41:45 | |
| NMFC: | im doing the short and the one later in the year ill do medium. IT's pretty hilly there and i havent MTBOed in a while. |
| # Posted 2008-05-18 15:17:08 | |
| AlexM: | Oh well then. good luck in the short, you better win. |
| # Posted 2008-05-19 06:56:44 | |
| NMFC: | See i we both do the same course only one of us can win
ps. do u have a map board |
| # Posted 2008-05-19 06:57:14 | |
| NMFC: | im making a spinning one |
| # Posted 2008-05-19 11:56:35 | |
| AlexM: | yeah ive got one of those miry mapboards. they're pretty good |
| # Posted 2008-05-19 13:50:25 | |
| NMFC: | my one will be better |
| # Posted 2008-05-19 13:50:48 | |
| NMFC: | simply cuz ill make it |
| # Posted 2008-05-19 15:07:23 | |
| AlexM: | My dad made my first one, and that was pretty awesome, except i think the miry ones are wayyyy better |
| # Posted 2008-05-19 15:54:35 | |
| NMFC: | a map boards a map board |
| # Posted 2008-05-19 16:13:31 | |
| AlexM: | yeah, as long as you can read your map, its all the same |
| # Posted 2008-05-20 04:58:07 | |
| -jr-: | Soft. Do the long you pansies.
Spinny map boards are pretty much awesome. But i spose anything that allows you to read the map isn't a bad second. ps im joking bout the long...ive foolishly tried to do it of not enough training and was in a world of hurt with at least 5km to go. |
| # Posted 2008-05-20 10:48:14 | |
| NMFC: | my home made one will spin |
| # Posted 2008-05-20 11:57:54 | |
| AlexM: | Yeah im definately not going anywhere near the long. meduim will do me just fine |
| # Posted 2008-05-20 12:10:27 | |
| NMFC: | smart move but i already got entered into the short |
| # Posted 2008-05-20 13:24:43 | |
| AlexM: | Glens going to cream the short. They wont know what hit them |
| # Posted 2008-05-20 14:39:01 | |
| NMFC: | hopefully |
| # Posted 2008-05-20 16:23:27 | |
| -jr-: | I reckon the ppl in the medium will only see the trail of dust you leave behind Alex. Should be good fun tho..tha area isn't thhhhhheeee greatest (stupid motorbikes ruining tracks) but fun nevertheless |
| # Posted 2008-05-20 16:26:05 | |
| AlexM: | yeah there will be a trail of dust in there, regardless of speed. some places are pretty sandy, makes it hard |
| # Posted 2008-05-20 16:29:05 | |
| NMFC: | i hate sand |
| # Posted 2008-05-20 16:47:54 | |
| -jr-: | Just knock it back a cog and spin on through it Glen. Enjoy the unpredictablility! |
| # Posted 2008-05-22 10:05:35 | |
| NMFC: | rightyo |
