Live - Mt. Keira Downhill Challenge

OK, it isn't quite live yet, but the ASRA crew plus other volunteers have arrived, and we're busy setting up here at the Scout Camp. Tomorrow we'll be busy with last minute stuff, plus rider check-in which starts at midday.

It's wet, and the forecast is for the rain to continue until Thursday night. After that it should be mostly clear.

There's a lot of wildlife here - possums, deer, bush turkeys, lyrebirds and the most common of all - leeches. This place is seriously crawling with leeches - salt is supposedly the thing to ward them away.

A friendly leech outside our front door

See you all tomorrow at rider check-in.

James Kelly beats Dejan, both go through, and they knock out Leeso and Yatesy.

Dalua and Will Morphett beat out Luca and the start-line crashing Mischo.

Terrific atmosphere at the start line - everybody shouting and cheering, and a crowd around the results table.

Round 2 is finished, just waiting on a few results to come through. Next up is round 1 of the Juniors.

Louis P and Api beat out Liam B and Lachlan C.

Round 1 of the Juniors has begun. Jayden M wins the first heat, and Sam Dalton wins the second heat.

Mischo moving gingerly around the start area...disappointing way to crash out of the race.
