Friday Freeride
It's Friday....right? How loose can you get on a mountain bike?
Don't try this at home, and if you do, wear an Australian Standards ( AS/NZS 2063:2008—Bicycle helmets) approved safety helmet.

This is how a World Championship victory starts....
Jason English was crowned (again) as WEMBO World 24hr Champion
This video is....inciteful, to say the least. Jason lets us into his world with full footage of his first lap around the course in Weaverville, California. This includes head-up display of riding stats, including power, and no dub over sound.
When you see wattages up near 500 you've got to remind yourself that this is just the beginning of 24 hours of tough riding....and Jason gets dropped.
Congratulations Jason English!!

Michael England | Marathon MTB World Championships
....the beauty of the Dolomites, Italy.
We would like to wish Michael England the best of luck at the UCI World Marathon Mountain Biking Championships in Val Gardena, Italy.
Saturday 27 June, 2015, 'Turbo', as he is affectionately known, will take on the gruelling 87km marathon course in the Dolomites wearing Australian National colours. This Gladstone local champion will leave nothing in the tank out there on the course during this race and will do his hometown proud.

Not 200, less than 100 days to the Cycle Epic....
Actually it's 199 98 days, so still 28 14 weeks to the start of the 2014 Flight Centre Active Travel Cycle Epic.
The New Cycle Epic Website is Live - Go and have a look and consider racing/riding one of the Australian Mountain Biking Icons.Time to start thinking about it at least, it needs a few training rides beforehand to get through the full distance. If you wanted to commit already, the entries are open for September 13-14 races.
If you need some inspiration, take a look at the video below, of the 2013 event, and if you look real hard you might see one or two riders from M1 Land slogging it out on the course.
This video is another high quality production from Dean Saffron. Check out his other videos, especially Spokesman
Flight Centre Active Travel Cycle Epic from dean saffron on Vimeo.
The award-winning Flight Centre Cycle Epic is a great mountain biking tradition that began in 2002 with a bunch of mates challenging themselves on a 117km epic trail ride. In 2003, the inaugural Australian mountain bike marathon started a new era in the sport.
Over the past 10 years, the EPIC has gone through multiple evolutions, most recently due to the 2011 floods which destroyed much of the track infrastructure. The track-building team have worked hard to develop extensive tracks of an international standard - creating rides that cater for different ages and skill levels.
The EPIC weekend has something for everyone, from the novice rider through to the professional, offering six races and several categories to challenge and reward riders.
Fees here....

The 4.5 Star MTB - Trek X-Caliber 7
It's the weekend...pop into the shop and pester the team about a Trek X-Caliber 7.
Just $899rrp
BikeRadar gives X-Caliber 7 four & half stars
"High quality build and proven handling at a modest price"
"The X-Caliber frame is no doubt the highlight of the package, made with Trek’s Alpha Gold aluminium. With heavily shaped and butted tubes, sparkling paint, an internally guided front derailleur cable and a fully housed rear derailleur cable, this frame would be befitting of bike twice its price."
Nothing beats the efficiency, simplicity, and straight-up fun of an X-Cal 29er hardtail. Great for XC racing, marathons, 24-hour racing, or simply shredding singletrack.

The Last CQ MTB Race of 2013
2013 draws closer to the silly season. So in central Queensland we will see the last race of the year this Saturday 9th at Seeone Park. It's a 4hr day-nighter so it's going to be a blast. Just remember to pack your lights in your race bag.
Online entries close Friday night at 9pm or enter on the day for a few extra $$s, from 2:00pm.
Rocky MTB always runs a good event so get along and show your support and get dirty in the dark.

The 3 Million View Man
His MTB Tips have reached far and wide, to computer screen across this broad planet.
His videos have shown millions, the secrets of the mountain biking world, coming from a life time of riding bikes; just over 3 million views actually.
Congratulations Coach Carter, an almost inconceivable achievement, and here's to many, many more.
If you thought Chris was just an online wizard, think again. Or better still get to one of his clinics and learn from the man himself.
Details of his upcoming clinics are included in the flyers shown below.
Just click on the one that interests you for a larger version. Or get on his website at MTBTips.com
We could all do with a skills upgrade.

The Bontrager RXXXL Mountain Bike wheels
"XXX Rated"
Products from Bontrager don't attain 'XXX' rating easily; do they Keith? They are Best-in-Class products or they simply won't make the grade. One of these standout products was at Trek World this year, brilliant new wheels from Bontrager.
They're now in Australia and one happy M1 Cycles customer, who wants a racing edge, has had his new hoops delivered. We threw them on the scales and had a chance to ogle them before he picked them up.
Seriously Sexy and Light.
You want to be the Fastest you can be, get on these wheels!!

 | Bontrager Race XXX Lite Front Mountain Bike Wheel on the scales at 630g. Built up with Tubeless TLR kit, Avid HSX 160mm Disc and Bontrager XR2 Team Issue Tyres gives you a front wheel complete at 1400g. |
 | Bontrager Race XXX Lite Rear Mountain Bike Wheel on the scales at 726g. Built up with Tubeless TLR kit, Avid HSX 140mm Disc, XX Cassette and Bontrager XR2 Team Issue Tyres gives you a front wheel complete at 1700g. |

Bontrager RXXXL 29er Wheel at Trek World Earlier in 2013. These wheels (MY14) are available in Australia and from M1 Cycles now. A complete wheelset at 3100g for a 29er....How much does your complete wheelset weigh, How much are they slowing you down (remember: it's rotating mass)? These wheels are probably the fastest 29er Wheels on the planet; they don't get the XXX label for just looking good. |
 |

The Fjords
Deep in Norway's Sunnmøre fjords is the small village of Fjørå. Over the centuries, local farmers have cleared trails up and down the steep mountainsides. Today, those trails challenge technical mountain bikers who descend to the rocky shore from 1100 metres over sea level

The Epic Continues.....
So it's now Tuesday, two days after the Epic and still the stories continue to be told. It does appear however that the "Fish" stories just keep getting bigger and bigger as the days go on... perhaps a bit of delusion is setting in?
Pengu for one seems to be fishing for a bite????? You should be careful with them fighting words Pengu.....
