Good.
And good.
And also good.

Went and snapped a few photos yesterday.

First: One of the bridges heading back to the start/finish area. Soggy and slippy
Second: Start/Finsh area. Will have some fences (or what ever they are called) come race day to the far right. Left hand side is head to the course. Soggy
Thrid: A section you may want to watch for
Fourth: Into the trees down by the swamp, waters to the right I'd stay out of it at all costs Hard pack (gravel, sand and clay) with abit of surface water here and there.
Fifth: Looking back from the last photo.

I didn't get any more photos because I missed where the rest of the course was exactly (have a vauge idea) and didn't want to take photos of every thing. There is a hill to climb But I'm not sure how riders are getting to it.

Ha the track would be epicaly wet at the moment!!!
I wouldnt even be riding my XC around there at the moment (mainly coz i cant be arsed cleaning it).
Good luck to all the competitors!!!

Yes I was going to post a after pic of my bike, but I cleaned it.

Houston, I have just discovered a problem

:0 You breaked your frame.

How'd you manage that?

Cracked frame.

Fuck.

*cough*
JRA

Will that be a warranty?
That sucks

I guess JRA. Had no idea it was there till I was just fiddling with it now. Hasnt made any noise that I have heard. It is a rigid bike though, but I dont think I ride bikes all that hard really.
Not sure what the warrnty period is, bike is getting on for 2 years old now. Plus it has been run in various configurations (fixed, for example), so I dont know how that effects things.

Fuck it, warranty probably take too long to sort anyway. Bob Pm me the name/number of the guy you know in Tauranga that had welded up steel frames. I go see him tomorrow

if it's not a warranty, it's a steel bike, Jeff at kiwi bikes will be able to do something with it.

I'll talk to my friend who did the welding on my (now your) slacker frame, if he can do it, he may do it for alcohol
want to bring the frame into me tomorrow?

good thinking batman. Might ask the warranty question first thing tomorrow, failing that, drive to rotorua to see Jeff.
Typical, only 6 days out from this uber-cool sounding event

Pm'ed you his number

Dents you are allowed to ride any kind of bike. 700c wheels on the slacker
