Mullet is a god. He organised a treasure hunt last year in the pouring ran that ended at a pub. When we finally got to the pub, Mullet was standing there with spare towels from his house to dry riders and even had t-shirts if you wanted to keep dry. He's the business.
Thanks again for such a tough course, that only got tougher, yee ha!

I remember that! Yep - above and beyond :)

All things considered, I think the organisation of both events was pretty damn good (I remember thinking "wonder if they've bitten off more than they can chew with 2 huge events at the *same* time"). Good to see that Mullet is keen to hear people's concerns, too.

Where in the course is the photo taken that looks like we're riding across a grassy field with violet flowers in the foreground?

The shorts I ordered from the states, the online pic showed normal knee length shorts
the ones that arrived weren't
the chest hair was surprisingly warm. I was forced to start my lap earlier than expected due to a mechanical with one of the other riders and I was wearing my night ride shirt. suffice to say by the end of the first climb I was seriously overheating and after mr mankini rode past just though what the hell.

Bugger...

Got back to sydney on monday & what are these bits of orange plastic on my forks???

Anybody know where I need to send the castech chips to CORC??? Castec???

As for the other posts re the course I thought it was a bloody ripper. Well done to all those involved.
Also re the organisation, should of sent CORC to india to do the CW games. I thought that given the fact that the 24hr solo was run in conjunction with the Scott, CORC did a great job and the event is something they should be proud of.

Regards

Bob

Thanks for asking - if you look up the Castech website there are instructions on where and how to to send them. We'd love you to send them back - 'cause CORC have to pay if you don't :)

Hey all,

Did the WSC get coverage in the press at all? My university is pretty good at giving people a helping hand (even for niche sports) so long as I can demonstrate there is some degree of legitamicy and coverage for it. Maybe 24HoA made some press releases available that I can point the university administrators to?

Cheers

Hi guys,

Our footage is going to be used in a package on Cycling Central on SBS on the weekend - check it out!

There was plenty of other media there as well covering it for the local news, mountain bike mags, etc

What Uni do you guys go to? We put a call out for more crew with a few universities and heard virtually nothing... maybe next time?

I'm at Macquarie University in Sydney, they've been fantastic with allowing me to get extensions on assignments and a few other things to allow me to compete without putting my academics in jeopardy (though admittedly I have a different definition of jeopardy to most people)

I'm looking for press releases to demonstrate an element of legitimacy in 24 hr MTB which would garner some financial support from the Uni as well. We all know how expensive this sport is!

Given a bunch of RB'ers are currently sitting their HSC, I'll take the opportunity to give Mac Uni my unconditional recommendation
