2010 Powerful Owl Time Trial One

2010-06-23T18:41:00.013+10:00

I rode the course a couple of times while I chose a spot to set up, and would have to agree with Gav in his description of the conditions as "Greasy".
Bruce had done a nice job fixing the holes and bypassing the boggy section of the course.
Even with these mods I thought the lap times aren't going to break any records.
I think we had nine starters, well done to you all for coming out on a cold night.

Round One Results;
Carson Tully 4.25
Dyon Balding 4.29
James Dickey 4.31
Gavin Deloree 4.34
DC 4.36
Neil Robinson 4.46
Duncan Murray 5.02
Mal Dorian 5.29

All welcome for round 2 even if you didn't race round 1.
(no cost, i.e. free to enter)
See you on July 20th.

Wouldn’t you want this on your mantlepiece?

2010-04-05T14:23:00.003+10:00

Ah well, all good things must come to an end. The imposing darkness brought about by the end of Daylight Savings time means no more crits.

But, to use another cliché (and we do love those here at Flat Hill Dirt Crits) there is light at the end of the tunnel. A little bird has told us the many of you are heading off to NZ for the Single Speed World champs. We are here to help.

First Tuesday of each month, starting May, 6:30pm at the Kew side of the pipe bridge Alphington a single speed night ride.

Also keep your eyes on this blog for more SS Urban Epics over the course of this winter and of course the return of the Powerful Owl Time Trial (new perpetual trophy; can you make your mantle piece the envy of you riding buddies?).

Cheers, Bruce.

Spoke to Russ tonight who told me he was amazed at the gap Brett had pulled out over the train that was Rohin, Bellie, JD, Justin and Neil. so early in the race.
I informed Russ that Brett had actually binned it in the trees just after the sketchy bit where the path works are going on, and had had half a lap out to re-compose himself.
Didn't seem to slow him down any.

Does it matter? I suppose no one got hurt, and it was one of those "racing incidents"
There was a bit of leaning an all, but if someone moves across your line, what do you do? and it happens in an instant.

Mullen Mullen Single Speed Urban Epic 18th October 2009

By Sunday, I needed a Mullen Mullen. A shit week had done it. So it seems did a mob of others. 80kms or more, 20,000 revolutions, of some haired, some shaven legs. I measured it after I rolled home before I fell in a heap, 4 metres to a crank revolution. I know we didn’t pedal that many by the look on innocent bystanders jolted out of their Sunday strolls by a swarm of buzzing White Industry Enos, Surleys, a Hope, a Spot and a King. Most of us on single speeds, some on full rigid believing truth lies in feeling every contour, every hole, every rock the track throws up. The few-geared guys gave up at Hans’s Loop and caught the train home. I’ve bailed at that point too; it’s the last moment before full commitment to a Mullen epic. After that point you can’t turn back. Don’t know about anyone else but the bald hill under the high-tension power lines always makes you feel like you’ve entered the guts of the ride. Yeah Hans’s Loop opens the lungs and burns the legs but up that hill I was grinding so slow I thought the bull ants I was rolling over would mount an attack and feed on a pair of mashed knees. From the top we looked back over the snaking trail, back to the Yarra. All the stuff we’d ridden to that point seemed a blur of quick tight single track intermingled with image flashes of trail runners, a dead rabbit, condom wrappers, greyed ramblers and a girl on a pink single speed. Catching our breadth and waiting for the mob to reassemble I downed my first gel, already having devoured two bananas and half a camelback. What’s next? A downhill slide to another hill up a cutting, to another up through trees, to another, and to another, somehow they don’t seem so bad. The single speed numbness kicks in, no gears to change, no big ring, no middle ring. You and the bike meld into one grisly being. Somewhere out there a promise rings in my head, I said to my wife I’d be back by 1pm, plainly I won’t. A quick call made, a grunt at the other end. Not much you can do out there, you’re stuck in transit; you’ll be home before dark. Spat out onto the Eastern Freeway bike track in one piece we attacked the concrete. There’s a buzz of happiness as it’s all down hill. Little dives into the scrub a bit like dessert. Long finger gloves and arm warmers prove there worth fending off the sharp brush through the slalom run by the freeway. The anointed leader decides another water shed needs to be crossed, so appears the Darrebin Creek Gorge. Down one side, through the creek, up the other side. Didn’t need that. Conversation now ebbed to guttural grunts as riders peel off following their homing beacons. The Single Speed Urban Epic under the belt, competed, done, now numbed and contented the demons from the week before dumped and forgotten somewhere out on the Mullen Mullen.

I enjoyed it, especially the climbs towards the end up out of Ivanhoe towards the school, just to really let you know just how shot your legs are! Thanks J.D. That way may be quicker, but is certainly steeper!

Urban Epic Ride Report

The threatening weather came to nought but the ride certainly didn’t.

As someone commented “is this ride really appropriate for single speeds?”

Those climbs after Hans loop through Warrandyte and Donvale certainly give you a few moments. Talk about running up the Rialto stairs.

A great turnout of riders and a variety of bikes, we had 29ers, 26ers, ridged and suspension.

How good was young Ollie Dorian on a ridged 26 doing the whole deal, star both of now and the future

The ride stayed nice and mellow a careful pace with us all getting home ready for a bit of kia

Keen to do it again? Thinking maybe “found another 26 gears” or one speed?

Give us some feed back

Probably looking at October 18.

Powerful Owl Final Race Report.

The Track was perfect, a decent bucketing just prior ensured the puddles were full and the surface greasy
The perennial chestnut of mountain biking was a talking point Tyres! Right ones or wrong ones?
As the weathermen gave rain a 50-50 chance, we decided to go for it.
He got that right! 50-50?
Seven (where were the rest of you?) lined up.
They were delighted their bikes didn’t shrink in the rain!
Jason Jackson did a blinder with 3.55 must have got those tyres right
(Jason rode the Pannaracer Rampage)
James Dickey came in second and cleaned up on the powerful owl x2 series. He is the inaugural winner of the ‘Perennial Owl’.

Thanks everyone who turned up to one or both,
We enjoyed doing it
Another series in the light in summer,

Couple of night crits coming up so keep an eye on the site.
