    sounds fun as long as theres not the usual shuttle line pushing, like at every S.S.S event.

    All,

    Entry numbers will be capped so everyone has a chance to put down heaps of runs. We will have heaps of shuttles and worked on the AVERAGE number of runs being 28 in the 6 hours. Thats just under 5 runs an hour. Committed riders (the ones that dont stop and are FAST) should throw down close to 40 (thats nearly 7 runs an hour or one every 8-9 minutes on a 2:30 track)

    Obviously, the race will be pretty hectic for the first 2 hours (a queue time of around 6minutes) and towards the end, the shuttles will be waiting for riders.

    Attached is the map for the place. Its on public land so we have to do a lot of red tape to get the event going. Make sure you clean up all your rubbish and obey the road rules when you're there.
    Its not too hard to find. Drop off at the crest of the hill about 100m west of the intersection, ride along the fire road about 150m and the singe track drops into the left.
    It comes out just below where the bitumen stops on the hill.

    I have done 3 runs in 19minutes there before. We knocked off 12 runs in 90minutes - with a flat that was changed.
