Good Clean Fun

Isaac T ripping it up at Fox Creek, not too much luck for the 16 year old this time but he still managed an impressive fourth place in Under 19's. Three rounds in and three top five five finishes for the lad on the Kona Stab.

Monday morning saw Dave and I out scouting the route for the up coming Bicycle SA Track and Trail in Kuipto forest (June 21). The forecast is for a fun challenge. Loop One will suit almost any rider as it weaves out behind Prospect Hill and around the pines and open scrub land in the Chookarloo area. Loop 2 takes in the views across to Victor Harbour and Lake Alexandrina before diving into the forest proper where the track alternates between flowing fire racks and Adelaide MTB Club's cross-country specific mountain bike tracks. We suggest participants pack a second pair of socks, your feet will get wet.

Five Thumbs Up for Squirt

Bike Rumour (www.bikerumour.com) have given Squirt wax lube a whopping five thumbs up.



Come in and get on the band wagon, we use it and we like it.

Southerners know how to get dirty!

Southern kids show how it's done at the State Series Downhill again. In Under 19's Isaac Thomas fastest in in qualifying and in the finals Isaac came fifth and Jeffery Purves finished 8th. While in Under 17's Sullivan Fleming finished 4th and Luke Freeman a very credible 10th.

At the Bicycle SA Dirty Weekend Willunga lad Woody Pearce became the youngest solo 12hr finisher with 10 laps. While the Christies Beach Surf Club team, featuring Iron Man Heath Bastians of Maslins Beach, came 2nd in 24hr teams of four. And our very own Dave Hughes (the funny one, not the comedian) decided that 24hour solo efforts are too easy for him nowadays, so instead he stepped up as race organiser and managed to stay awake for 40+hours.
