A Little Too Skinny - Bike Racing Blog: Mount Donna Buang - Winter Ascent
http://alittletooskinny.blogspot.com/2014/08/mount-donna-buang-winter-ascent.html
A Little Too Skinny - Bike Racing Blog. Tuesday, 5 August 2014. Mount Donna Buang - Winter Ascent. There's slow business like snow business. It only takes an hour or so of lurking around on Facebook to bend ones mind into doing less than sane things. Playing games without purpose or passion, reposting stupid comments, downloading another trojan, or deciding to climb a local berg in the middle of one of the coldest weeks in recent history. Early morning, early days. We'd noticed that a couple of intrepid ...

A Little Too Skinny - Bike Racing Blog. Tuesday, 10 September 2013. Magellan 6 Hour - Bendigo. Rocks Who would have thunk it? Rocks and me have a tense relationship. Its not like I was pelted with them at primary school or had to dig my way out of a collapsed quarry, but we just don't seem to get along. Bendigo has lots of rocks. Plenty of them. So many of the damn things that they've made a reasonable living out of fixing high explosive to them and replacing them with big holes in the ground. We rolled ...

A Little Too Skinny - Bike Racing Blog. Monday, 4 November 2013. The Finale - Wembo 24 Hour Solo World Championships - Canberra. If you're happy and you know it. And two laps later, when it did, I let a little holy moment wash over me. Kyllie, Linda and Bede had not only been feeding me food and maintenance, but information as well - and it was about now that I began to actually hear it. With each pit I was told to look out for a target, and if I got them, look out for the next. My last lap started at 11...

A Little Too Skinny - Bike Racing Blog: Giant Odyssey - April 2014
http://alittletooskinny.blogspot.com/2014/07/giant-odyssey-april-2014.html
A Little Too Skinny - Bike Racing Blog. Monday, 21 July 2014. Giant Odyssey - April 2014. If you've not ridden this race, you should. Its like Wimbledon for marathon mountain biking. Its one of the biggest races in Australia and attracts the A-listers of rough rubber royalty. Its long, fun and scary hard to boot. Go that way.really fast. Climb it like you stole it. At this point all sorts of voices started howling in my head. Those harsh, hurtful ones that seem to enjoy puncturing holes in your soul,...

A Little Too Skinny - Bike Racing Blog. Wednesday, 2 April 2014. Mount Buller MTB Festival. Big mountain bike riding has something a little more to it. While quasi-urban trail builders actively seek out gradients to provide the pulse raising rushes we're all after, trail artisans at altitude, when they pull out the tools are already building on gradients well in excess of double figures - hoping that what they build doesn't dramatically increase flight time for local rescue helicopters. Having raced this...

http://alittletooskinny.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A Little Too Skinny - Bike Racing Blog. Thursday, 15 May 2014. Bendigo Golden Triangle Epic - March 2014. I have history with this race. The last time I turned up I spent 8 and a half hours essentially wandering around with my head in a plastic bag full of cat shit pretending to be a bike racer. I had mechanicals on masse, got dehydrated, got lost, food flatted and for all money basically had a (non-free range) pig of a time. Not a Ninja, or a bike racer. You cant race with hair like that. The course was...

A Little Too Skinny - Bike Racing Blog: World 24 Hour Solo Championships - Rotorua Wembo 2016

A Little Too Skinny - Bike Racing Blog. Sunday, 28 February 2016. World 24 Hour Solo Championships - Rotorua Wembo 2016. It was about 7:00am - 250 meters into the start of a new lap, more than 5 hours from the end of the race. Involuntarily I threw up a little into the back of my throat, forced myself to swallow and wondered - how long could I keep this shit up for. I was leading, but I was crumbling.and that feisty little bread roll was still kicking. Sweet course eh bro? 3x womens 24hr World Champ Jess...
