Angry Dr. 2010 Event Mtb Jersey going for a song.
Submitted by CookPassBartridge on Wed, 08/09/2010 - 15:55Published in
Anyone want to buy an Angry Dr. 2010 Event Jersey?
Condition: as new
I'll let you have it for $150 
What the hell should I do with it now? Wear it with pride and pretend it doesn't bring back disappointing memories (including a speeding fine on the way down to Mogo)?

Why the Angry Doctor was Cancelled

Buck posted this on FB:
Princes hwy mogo. This fell down as we rode to the re start. A car only JUST stopped in time.
Yeah - you can't blame the organisers for cancelling an event through a forest if the trees are just going to fall over randomly!

has anyone here participated in this race in previous years? I'm somewhat of a newbie and am wanting to hear first hand experience of the level of technical difficulty, the training required, how well the race is organised and any tips and traps on offer. Thanks.

No on-course water at Back Yamma Bigfoot
Submitted by hawkeye on Sat, 28/08/2010 - 15:46Published in
I put in an email to the organisers asking where the water stops would be, and got the following response. Haven't done a 50km before so not sure if this is an issue:
I hope this doesn't throw a spanner in the works, but we won't have any
water on the course. The only water stop will be at the event centre for
those doing the 100km. We are trying to minimize costs. However, if we
receive enough requests for additional water stops we'll look into
including another one next year. The course is pretty fast and not too

word of warning Angry Doc is very very hard
Submitted by Supagav on Wed, 11/08/2010 - 12:17Published in
Well with the Angry Doc just around the corner I have been thinking about the angry doc a bit lately.
from the two previous times I have raced this it has hurt me big time. Cramps were my biggest enemy.
Now its not like I don't do much racing so I know a bit about pacing myself and training, I thought i would give a couple of words of advice to help people get through the day.
Cobra Mountain - Narooma trails
Submitted by raymondv on Wed, 11/08/2010 - 08:51Published in
As an alternative to the Highland Fling, I'm looking at the Red Belly/Cobra Mountain events run by BlackHeart out at Narooma. The spiel says that Bodalla State forest has "some of the best mountain biking you'll find anywhere".
Can anyone confirm what the tracks/trails are like out thata way...?
Check list for hardware to take for my first 100km (Angry Dr.)
Submitted by CookPassBartridge on Tue, 10/08/2010 - 16:18Published in
Now, first off, I'm aware I've picked a very, very bad race for my first 100km. I'm trying to do what I can to get myself conditioned for the race.
I'm turning my mind to making sure I've got sufficient supplies for the race. I'm preparing a check list and was hoping some of you kind people could comment on what I've missed off and what is over the top.
I understand this subject isn't as entertaining as a lot of websites out there (www.27bslash6.com/ being a good example), but if you could find time to comment, I'd be very grateful.

2013 24hr titles in QLD?
Submitted by ps on Wed, 28/07/2010 - 13:26Published in
One of the things the tailwind people said during the presentation for the Merida 24hr event was that they were the first to bid for this years 24hr worlds. They winged about the event going to canberra because it was the better known site and said they have been told they would get the event next time it came to Australia.

National Series Announced
Submitted by Flynny on Sat, 17/07/2010 - 11:27Published in
The date for Round 2 (DH) of the 2010-2011 National Series has been changed to January 15-16 2011.
This was done to avoid a known date clash with a large 24hr race (also in Victoria) and the Newtons Nation, a multi-facetted gravity event to be hosted in Bathurst (NSW).

Angry Doctor 100km first time - advice needed.
Submitted by chrischris on Sat, 03/07/2010 - 15:54Published in
Well, I've been riding for a while, but not this far. I ride for fun at Awaba and Ourimbah, but this 100km event has me a little worried. 50km would be fun! 100km? Why did I bother listening to you Andrew..... So, any advice?
1- Is there overtaking/passing etiquette?
2 - Do I really need some vasoline?
3 - Dust mask?
4 - Extra equipment to carry besides chain lube, tyre puncture repair kit, etc ?
