Looking for 2010 ride-buddy ?

[Exie]

Hi,

I sooo wanted to do this in 2009 but I left it all too late. Not so for 2010!

About me...
I'm of average fitness(currently) and intermediate MTB experience, > 30yo and looking for a fellow rider to team up with for 2010.

My Plan...
To be honest, theres no hope of "winning" against all the pro riders, but I think this is going to be an awesome experience. If anyone else in Melb. is interested in teaming up to give this a go, let me know. I'm sure we can hook up for some test rides, ideally I'd like to find someone of similar fitness/level to myself, that way I wont hold you up or visa versa.

I was planning to book some reasonable accommodation, and organise meals before hand as I'm not much for camping or lying under the stars, and I'm not a great chef either.

Tim.

G'day TIm,

I'm super keen to do the Australis too. Can't find anyone to commit to doing it with me. I'm not under any misguided impression that I have any chance of placing anywhere in the field but I am a keen rider. Recently did the CTS series here in Melb and have registered for the Kona 24h as a solo. Let me know if you'd like to chat more about the poss of taming up.

Cheers

Rob.

I am also looking for a ride buddy.
I live in SE Queensland and will be riding the course not to win but to finish.
Having said that I have a reasonable level of fitness and enjoy a fairly fast pace (most days).

I can be contacted on gh878@bigpond.com

UPDATED POST.............................................

I have now found a team mate thanks to this web site and have entered the race.
It only took 6 days for a reply.

Hey Graeme,

Bring on the Terra mate!

After registering I read the write-up/review for last years event in the the Aug/Sept issue of Mountain BIking Australia- stage one sounds tough, stage two sounds tough, stage three sounds tough.......

We of team iride 2.0 chatted last night and are open to teaming up with a third person if anyone else is in need of team mates.

Any tips on training for this thing

Rob.

Hey people,
I am looking for a ride partner for this event.
I am 29, and reasonably fit. I am located in the NE vic area.
My aim for the event this year is to finish it. Realistically, I would probably be a mid-field rider.
Let me know if you are interested in riding with me.
Shane.

Graeme,
I have sent you a PM, outlining my goals for the Australis,
Give me a call if you could to discuss things further.

Tim,
Have you found any one yet, Graeme may be offering a place, making his team a team of 3, where I would prefer a team of 2, as long as I can find a well matched rider.
PM me your no. if you could, and we can talk then.

Thanks guys,
Shane.

If anyone is interested me please email me on loan(at)loanburger(dot)com

Super keen!
