24hr RR

I've finally written the race report for the 24hr - I mean the complete
and mostly unabridged version.

Oh, I'm not used to this google groups nonsense. Damn my uni for
decommissioning our telnet servers. Damn my uni for no shell access.

Nice!

Is now a good time to point out that entries for the Mont open in 23 days?

Nice work ...

You did a solo 24 hr on a hard tail? Very brave ...

The Maxxis Larsen TTs are great ... I did the DirtWorks 50km race with
them yesterday and they felt fast (it could have been a placebo though
.... I spent $100 on a pair).

Btw, would you recommend the Continental Vapors? I'm looking for a pair
of XC tyres that aren't Larsens because SWMBO doesn't want to get the
same pair as me. She won a pair of Ritchey Motovader 2.1s at DirtWorks
and I believe they are more of a downhill/free ride tyre.

Great work Tam, congratulations! Enjoyed it by the sounds of it, which
is all very important... And you are still in 1 piece!!

wish the weather was like that down here this weekend. We had the
Puffing Billy Great Train Race, it was about 9 degress and rained from
start to finish.

Going of track a bit from the 24hr. I did the dirt works 100 yesterday as
well with Larson TT Exception 2.00 & after trying around 10 different light
weight XC tyres in the past 5 yrs I think they easily roll the best ( have
never had to use my breaks so much ), I can buy them in Port Macquarie for
$75 each.
By the way the Dirt works rips for a MTB Enduro race.

The Exception series was a brave choice for the DW, they're not known
for having the strongest sidewalls.

The Crossmarks are reportedly roll much better than Larsons

I'm very grumpy I had to miss it.

For an all round riding tyre I'd go the Continental Vertical or Maxxis
Ignitor.
