I did my last long distance training session last weekend. My team rode from Castle Hill to Springwood and back. I needed some big hill practice. Held a good 33km average so I was happy with that. Kept up with the rest of the team on racers, so my preperation is all done. I will ride to work and back a few more times before the day but I should be ready to do some damage on the day.

Wow - what a day! absolute pearler.

Got to sleep around 11pm, woke up at 4am chucked the bike in the back of the truck, picked my mate up, drove to Olympic Park, caught a train to North Sydney and met up with some other mates.

Started North Sydney Oval, and rode the North Sydney route back to Olympic Park.

55km in total. Including the ride from the traino to the start line and the extra lap we did at OP.

i did the pring cycle yesterday. The whether was fantastic. Its my first time i've ever done something like this and i enjoyed it so much.

I woke up at about 630. Rode to blacktown softball centre and then started at about 730. Did the 45kms in 2 and a half hours and i was just crusing along.

Caught the train to blacktown station and then rode home to woodcroft from there. I'm not even sore today which im very happy about

I can deal with teh rain - thank fark there are going ot be northerlys coming through! I'll need that boost up the hills.

It was an ok ride, spent 40 min at the start line before we got off the mark, and the first 30-45 min was at super slow pace. Total ride time was about 4hr 10min with 50-60 min break at Stanwell tops due to an accident which stopped the course. We lost my mates dad, his bike was unridable after a low speed crash.

My mates on their racers just missed the 3hr mark with 3.05 without stops, I was 3 min behind with 3.08, the 1hr stop distroyed my legs and the last 10km really hurt.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah first bit was super slow as it was to congested to even ride.

Half our group (guys on racers) took off around the pack and cut back in where everyone started riding.

We cruised along and took around 4.5hrs (not including about 30mins of stops).

Great weather for the ride, with a slight NE breeze.

Had a great day and will definately be returning with Amanda's Team again next year. The support was awesome from you all and greatly appreciated!

Nothing major in our team with only one guy getting a flat.

THANKS SO MUCH!

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
