We can debate its merit as a joke, but having seen the film 24 Solo I'll swear it must be true!That wasn't even funny at Dirtworks.

Matt , weve booked at this place for the week leading in...have stayed there before and its quite good...as to how close it is to shops etc.....dont believe its too bad, however the locals may correct me...generally everything in canberra is pretty close just a roundabout or three to go throughCan someone recommend a good campsite suitable for a motorhome for the days before the WSC when we cannot camp on site please.
Needs to be close to shops/civilisation, yet close enough to ride to Stromlo.
If any campsites have wi-fi access that would be a benefit, but if not somewhere near by with access would be OK.
Usual other facilities like electric, water, etc.
Try Canberra Motor Village Matt. Being a local, I've never stayed there but the location is good and it's off-road riding all the way to Stromlo.Can someone recommend a good campsite suitable for a motorhome for the days before the WSC when we cannot camp on site please.
Yep and it's right next door to Bruce/O'Connor ridge where there is some singletrack riding if you want a little evening spin.Try Canberra Motor Village Matt. Being a local, I've never stayed there but the location is good and it's off-road riding all the way to Stromlo.
Pretty sure all McDonalds have free wi-fi if you can not access it from your campsite.If any campsites have wi-fi access that would be a benefit, but if not somewhere near by with access would be OK.
Google 'Canberra motor village' - it comes up on a google map. The city centre is to the south east of the motor village - endless shops... Stromlo is also on google maps - there might be places to stay closer than the canberra motor village but I don't think there is anything really close to stromloThanks for the suggestions.
Just to check, the Canberra Motor Village is within walking distance of Canberra itself?
That is the main concern as my partner doesn't ride and with the van parked up we wont have transport. If Stomlo is riding distance away that would be great.
Canberra Motor Village is not far from the city, or Belco if you need supplies. It's a fair trot to Stromlo,by bike, especially if you are going to be racing or supporting a racer. As far as reading a bus timetable, well Saturday morning buses are ok, but after that they are not real flash. Sunday they are an event rather than a service. also to get from CMV to Stromlo, could take a few days. cheers JackCanberra not *that* big mate (think approx the size of Coventry and surrounds, maybe a bit bigger) - and the public transport is OK as well. As long as your missus can read a bus timetable, she'll be fine.
Yes, but:just confirming that tents of any type can be used in pit row instead of a marquee as long as it fits in the required space? cant justify the price of marquee hire so want to use a pop up tent that ive used at other events.
Not officially, although we are organising that for larger groups on a case-by-case basis, If you think your group is large, email me.Do people who combine pits also have their allocated camping combined? If not how can we organize that?
Russ, Well I wouldn't consider our "posse" large. About 6 of us including 2 riders. It would just make logistics a bit easier if we are all together..Not officially, although we are organising that for larger groups on a case-by-case basis, If you think your group is large, email me.
(you're stuck with them for 24+ hours in the pits and now you want to be stuck with them in the campsite as well )
It will have to be at least 5km to sort everyone outIs the start a le mans or on-bike? If its a le mans, any idea of the length of the run?
someones been doing some running trainingIt will have to be at least 5km to sort everyone out
