Highland Fling Anyone ?

[iscarrr]

First time I'll actually have the chance to do the Fling, looking forward to it.

Obviously theres a bit of firetrail etc, which is fine, and looking at some pictures i see a reasonable number of people on hardtails.

Fair to say even for 100k's or 100miles for you nutters, its not too bad on a hardtail?

its not too bad on a hardtail?

I was going to do it rigid. But I will consider ~60mm up the front of the bike.

By today's standard of super efficient duallies, this course is as hard tail perfect as I've seen for a 100km

Definitely, there's hardly any single track so it will suit those silly big wheels you roll

Silly? About as crazy as those skinny big wheels you run...

go on dude...

keen for some rides in the mountains leading in to it....

Shrek - sounds good, maybe another Ingar/Andos/Oaks day, although will need to be a late August weekend at the moment...

Entries are open early! There's just no link up yet.

Just go to the event webpage (http://www.wildhorizons.com.au/highland-fling) and click on Register in the top right corner. Fill in your details and you're registered on their system. You can then select a race and category to enter, pay your money and voila!

- Tim.

There's only a place for a log in and a password - no account set up?

Register bit seems broken.... I'll wait till 4pm

I think Tim snaked his way through a rapidly closing window.

Jeez, all this fuss about entries. What about some nice comments about our new-look website?!

 

[EzyLee]

Massive improvement, high five!

Now open the entries

I hope it stands up to the increase in traffic it is about to get!

 

[BT180]

Yeah, site looks much better! I noticed the switch this morning and was like WTF?!

looks like more the the Register is broken now

 

[iscarrr]

Sorry your right, the new site is awesome.

The servers youve got running it on the other hand.. dont seem to be handling it right about now. Unsurprisingly the site is getting smashed.

White screens and timeouts for me

Haha, Bzzzt... melting server.

 

[Five Miles Out]

The websight wont load! To many people!

 

[Fi]

Correct re: server, despite us checking this out with them beforehand and being assured it could handle it. We're currently on hold to them to sort it out. Thanks for your patience, people!

 

[PDogg]

Wow Fi, that website looks amazing. I never truly realised the possibilities of web design until this moment.

Speechless.

 

[jmcavoy]

Lots of people are trying to enter, the server is a little overloaded right now. If you're trying to enter, I suggesting getting a coffee and trying again a little late...

 

[BT180]

Looks like another sell out record is on the cards...
