I’ll add a bit of a writeup on Mt Buller and the trails, soon. But basically, Mt Buller rocks and we had a great time!

I’m now toting a Canon PowerShot s95, which is the same small pocketable size as my beloved IXUS point and shoots, but with a faster f/2.0 lens, better image quality, and full manual controls.

I’ll be adding more photos fairly regularly now, but here’s a few from the last couple of rides.

Awesome to see in real life, the riders we’ve only seen in videos. Got to say G’day to Sam Hill as he and Brendan Fairclough were walking down the course between practice sessions on Saturday. And then got to say G’day to Sabrina Jonnier while she was having a breather on the side of the track during Sunday morning practice.

I took a lot of photos over the weekend… I was going to just post a few of my favourites, but then I wanted to post all of the reasonable ones too… So I’ve broken them into separate galleries, so if you just want to see a handful, check out the main “favourites” gallery bellow (or sit back and watch the little slideshow above), or if you need more, check out the full galleries further down.

There’s a write up and full race results online here
