22.5 hours

It may sound like nitpicking but... If you paid $400, then you're racing for 24 hours. The only people racing 23.75 hours are those that entered age categories. Entry to age categories was $375, last time I checked.

Hmmm, with that reasoning I can only ride for 22.5 hours... :)

Just noticed this as well although seems there is only one briefing at the stadium. This is taken from www.corc24hour.com.au "The Solo Rider Brief is now an Canberra Stadium at 1400 Friday. You need to be there and seated in the Mal Meninga Stand by 1400. Park in carpark 3."

Seems that almost everyday there is a change uncovered. At least there's not long to go now so surely there can't be many more....

so much for booking the host hotel under the impression it would be convenient. Now Im gonna be driving all over canberra looking for these new locations...

I just had a look at the castech website, http://www.castech.com.au/Results/Comp/Scott and it looks like they will be covering the race. From memory, the results were "live" for the Solo Nats at Easter. To bad as I wont be able to confirm if it "the" website until we are all out riding.

yeah there's a lot of changes only a few days out

Preso dinner, unfortunate for people who were after dinner then straight to their room.

Briefing? where is bruce stadium? as I have to tell support to see if they can leave work an hour earlier, wasn't it originally at 3pm?

With the published start groups
------------
The Start groups on Saturday will be:
. 1145 Elite Solo Riders
. 1200 Age Group and Single Speed Solo Riders
. 1215 Scott 24Hr Team Riders
------------

Does this mean there will be NO age group riders in the first start group?

Why the split? If the start is split/staggered, why not stagger the finish so both groups ride the same length? The latter would be fun for castech :)

This current split start would mean an elite rider would have a 15min head start on the others.

Is there a published 'seeding'?

Presentation and Dinner was moved as we outgrew what the Crowne Plaza was able to fit. It was either move, or a lot of people not be able to attend.
The ANU venue is about a 15minute walk from Crowne Plaza (or 5 minute drive with parking close by).

Dude, you either need to pay attention to the updates or wait for the briefing IMHO...

only as much as we get an extra 15mins to get an extra lap in at the end. It matters little, you race for Elite, or you race for a category. There is no "overall" prize (or least there's not one advertised or offered in previous years) there are over 100 Elite riders, so it makes sense to split 'em off. I for one am glad to get a potentially cleaner run at the first lap rather than elbows out with 400+ riders

On the most part, the Elite guys are faster than age cats so *shrug*

I'm sure all will be revealed at the briefing...

WiFi access to live timing?

Hi All

Can anyone confirm if there is or isn't WiFi access to live timing in the pits area? I'd been told there was but have never seen any confirmation of the fact. I just need to know if it's worthwhile bringing the laptop along

cheers

Gordo Out Rumour?

Can anyone confirm or refute the rumour that is circulating that Gordo is out of the Worlds with a broken collarbone. I heard it circulating yesterday but can see nothing mentioned anywhere on the net, on Rockstar's site or anywhere else.

Say it ain't so.

Gordo is officially out of solo worlds due to a broken shoulder. A crash during training has ended his race before it began.

Bets on!

Last minute bets? I'm tipping Hogg to go out and smash it early but English's super consistency and experience racing at Stromlo to win out through the night. Takers?
