Only 62 entries so far

Make that 63.

Now, if Anti-Trainer can keep that wretched *Woodpecker song* out of his midnight repertoire it will be a perfect weekend

Now - this looks a bit odd. Only 62 entries so far but in the location survey there were 171 responses and 80% of them said they were going to do the race at Majura. So, by my count, that means there are 74 of you still to enter in the next day or two :02.47-tranquillity:

i said yes in the survey, however wont be making it unfortunately... :-(

Jase E, Ed Mac, Andy Hall, Sam C and Stu Brown all smacking the shit out of themselves in the early hours, nearly worth the entry fee to just go watch this main event go down! Wouldn't be surprised if Scotty C sneaks his entry in at the 11th hour and can't write off old Jebus on Easter Sunday can we!!

Good to see Anne Symes back on the circuit again after her busted ankle last November in Redesdale. :fat:

Unless money grows on trees, fitness comes in a can and support people grow on tress. I am no chance!

You have helped me enough over the years to be a worthy support!!

 

[Anti_Trainer]

Wooo HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
"The Fridge" is in!
SS fun is back on the MAP!

As for the legendary 'Wood Pecker Song' - whilst I can't promise I won't sing it, a lot of people know it, so you could be in luck.
Plus I've been working on a few different songs this morning - just to pass the time till Jase/Ed/Andy/Stu/etc lap me

Good luck to all the ladies - but a special cheer to the 'Single Ladies'.

As for you Quiggs - you don't need a support crew, you just need a table, some food and a few drinks!
See you and Shrekmeister next year.

Wooo HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

See you and Shrekmeister next year.

The original decision was to leave this as it was and place some Wet Ones on a near by tree.



But we built a bridge instead.

Thanks to all those that came out and helped.

I spy three fridges and two eskies.

Kris, there is some fresh timber/rest of gravel near the perspex-covered sign thing near damn track.

Yours shiveringly,

Sydney-sider here, so not sure what the weather has been like down South, How much of the track looks like that?

P.S. any locals going to wager a forecast contrary to the BOM?

 

[Le Matelot]

... How much of the track looks like that?

About 6 metres, maybe 7 ... Had a working bee out there last weekend and it was tough finding stuff to do. Drains dug on a previous working bee had all worked well and dried thing out.

Latest Entry Lists and Number Allocation

Here they are. 90 riders so far. Still time to email an entry in if you want to, or you can enter on the day (but we'd prefer it if you told us in advance).

Now, this could get interesting ... If you check out the entries, there are two French flags in there - one male, one female. The names next to them belong to two members of the Thule Adventure Racing team - and they are the current world adventure race champions ...

Ok - so we know they're not eligible to take home the Aussie jersey for nationality reasons, but it could be an interesting weekend.

 

[leftieant]

Enduropulse have officially declared a hashtag for the weekend: #AusSolo24 - any others kicking around?
