• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Can you say BONZAI!

Very cool

That's my kinda of ride....no uphill pedaling....but gotta say they are often in nomans land...:yikes: not to many folks around even at the finish...:dontknow:
 
Here's a few more tough events (orright, 12 more if them!) Check out the Simpson Desert Bike Challenge, down the list about 5 or 6 entries, it has a vid attached:

Well worth checking them all out - altho especially worth looking at the Simpson Desert Challenge! I have been privileged to support this one, & while it might look nice & easy in the vid, it really isn't at all!! Every Check Point has people on hand trained to make sure the competitors are safe to continue riding, & over the 25 plus years it's been running, there have only ever been a select few riders at each event who've managed to complete the entire course without either being pulled from a stage or two due to heat exhaustion or who weren't caught by the Sweep Vehicle (it's a safety thing - & we are proud to say that we haven't lost a competitor yet.... got close a couple of times, but we've been lucky enough to have brought them all home so far!!)

Here's a bit more on 5 Days of Hell in Satan's Velodrome, & it's even more worth the read:
