Strongly suspect that the "track opening Thursday morning" means that it will only be bunted and defined then. In the past, as much of Stromlo has always been open at every single moment possible and that's not likely to change you'd have to think - even when the worlds were on there were some tracks still able to be ridden by joe public
Yes, it's not like there's heaps of places to ride around Canberra, hmmm let me see.....Strongly suspect that the "track opening Thursday morning" means that it will only be bunted and defined then.

Pit passes
I am fortunate enough to have my wife and a friend/bike mechanic helping me compete at the Worlds, however we normally have our 2 children with us while I'm doing 24's. With only 2 helpers allowed in the pit area will my 2 boys be left outside the fence cold, hungry and unsupervised?
My son has also asked how high will the fences be and will the sercurity guards have tasers or guns.
Thanks John Evans

Cute! If he needs a boost and some one to distract the guards I'll give him a hand!

I'm excited too Dreggsy, in a nervous kind of way, we may have to take that shovel.
Even though it will be my 8th solo 24 I still get butterflies leading up to one, but feel I can never give up racing these things.
With it being the World's there is more to race for and more to hurt for.
It makes me think of how hard the race will be for Craig Gordon & Jason English, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes.
Any guess's on the outcome?

24hr Fight
It will be a fight to the death - Jason's toughest race yet, where we may see him grit his teeth instead of chillin' with his homies.

After reading the interviews in AMB from English, Gordon & Fellows, I think Gordo's taking the fight to the death thing literally!!
& this time they'll know to get a pre race interveiw & have the ambo & dialysis ready!

Gordo, he once had a 'who has more balls' competition with Lance Armstrong and won 3-1
Slight change of topic - I broke a spoke at the canberra race last weekend, the mechanic guys had no spokes of any kind... very sad ending...
what will be there as far as mechanic support / shops setup able to fix stuff? - will there be the normal guys set up near transition doing repairs / will there be anyone doing mechanical work in / near / for the solo pit area?

Bike Culture and Shimano. This will be for the whole event, but Solos have priority.
But - a bike shop can't carry every known spare - so if you have something unusual, might pay to bring a spare, which they can fit for you.

I think there will be more than just English and Gordo in the race but Im tipping a jockey to win the stromlo race.

... how many lengths/buttings/colours/thread diameters/pull types would a shop need to take to a race to suit all the attendees' wheels, let alone all the Shimano/Mavic/Fulcrum/I9/Easton proprietary spokes? The worlds might justify more equipment, but if supporting a 7 hour round I wouldn't take much more than the usual consumables...
Shop guys should have been able to back off the tension to keep you riding though, if it's a 32/36h wheel.
