SAM HILL IS UNBEILEVABLE….read below

The infamous Garbanzo DH race, a torturous endurance downhill race that only the world’s top riders can finish in under 15 minutes, was run once again in wet conditions. Reigning World Champions Gee and Rachel Atherton took out their respective events by significant margins. Hill took 2nd in typical Sam style - having run off course and somehow lost a shoe in his run, he stopped to put his shoe back on and continued the race, however Atherton’s 17 second margin was simply too big to catch up. Former Junior World Champ, Amiel Cavalier took 6th, with wildman Chris Kovarik in 8th.

Pro Men:
1. Gee Atherton 14:20.4
2. Sam Hill 14:37.8
3. Marc Beaumont 14:44.6
4. Dan Atherton 14:50.0
5. Curtis Keene 14:50.1
6. Amiel Cavalier 14:55.0
7. Andrew Neethling 15:01.6
8. Chris Kovarik 15:03.8
9. Paul Stevens 15:10.8
10. Matti Lehikoinen 15:10.9

Pro Women:

So if you can avoid/ or be extra courtese in the area this would be much appreciated by all. If you do go down Dec will confirm at the entry if access is or is not available. Trails are open at Murray Valley be aware that you will have to access them via Nanga Mill due to bob’s crossing being currently in flood.

IS CURRIE GOING GARBANZO
Posted by Housey under Miscellaneous
No Comments

Well had a brief msn chat with peel member chris currie today and he asked me should he do the garbanzo dh. Well naturally i said yes because we love to put our mates into unknown danger. Now if your not fimilar with the garbanzo here’s a brief description from the guy’s at whistler.

It starts way up at the tippy top of the Whistler Bike Park and then goes down forever. This year’s epic enduro downhill pits both World Cup and local riders against 3,400 vertical feet of roots, rocks and muchos grande air… fingers will cramp, eyes will water, and brake pads shall smoke like a bush fire.

Now for an idea of times Sam Hill won by 30 seconds last year with a time of 14:25:07 passing brian lopes on his way.

This is all part of the Kokanee crankworx which chris will be at all week, so hopefully he’ll also get some great shot’s he can pass on to us for the site. http://www.crankworx.com/whistler/home.php

Well post a comment in the comment box and tell him what to do….. RIDE IT FOR PEEL.

Trail building day Munda Biddi
Posted by Housey under Miscellaneous
No Comments

From Crystal at the Munda Biddi. If you can help them this weekend it would be great. Let her know by Wednesday if you can help………

As you are probably now aware an opportunity has come up for the new section of Munda Biddi from Collie through to Nannup to be opened on Thursday 28th of August. In order for this to become a reality we all need to come together and help as DEC needs a hand with some construction.

You can assist with basic hut or bridge construction, trail construction, signage or planting work during the week by arrangement. (Steel cap boots are required for hut construction and recommended for other work)

This weekend, 2/ 3 August, Kerstin has organised a working weekend and unfortunately we only have 2 confirmed attendee’s. So if you are available please support us and help out as we need all the help we can get (even if it is just for one day) to get the trail construction complete in time.

Also as you can see below in exchange for your help DEC is offering to pay for accommodation for both the Friday and Saturday nights and also for some of your meals.

If you are available to help out this weekend or at anytime during the next few weeks please let me know by Tuesday 29 July so I can do up a roster and let Kerstin know. There will be the opportunity to car pool once I have done up the rosters and know who is going down when, so I will be in touch about this.

This is an exciting time for the Munda Biddi and your help would be much appreciated to help us meet the deadline and get the trail open by the end of August.

Kind Regards
