24 solo nationals easter

- Start date
Saturday 19 April
Unfortunately I have a headache that day... and the Monaro Cloudride 1000 starting:wave:
CORC gave all us members a 2014 Calendar [for Christmas!] to hang on the back of the door to the throne room which has all CORC run club and national events. It says Onya Bike Nat 24Hr Solo Champs Saturday 19 April [Easter Saturday]. On your usual 50k limit you should be able to squeeze about three laps in....:couch2:

Hey Steve,
I agree 50km is about my limit for racing, I think courts' endurance is significantly longer though (different person but very similar name
)Is the Monaro Cloudride ready to rock? I'll be tracking you online with interest
Ooooops! Apologies Courts for my slanderous inference! No paying attention .... I'm pleased to hear you have a bit more stamina than the other pretender:friendly_wink:

Coming along nicely, a dozen or so starters at the moment, might end up with twenty which is the upper limit of my expectations. A few recent past year US Tour Divide luminaries and a few who have entered for June TDR14.

I believe this event won't be run this year?

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :yuck::smow::faint2:out::closed_2::fear::drama::tsk:uke::shocked::suspicious::rain::boom::nono::rip::violin::heart-borken::upset::frown-new:

I completely understand the notion of volunteer burn out, but am nonetheless very sad to read that the greatest race on our calender each year will not be running
I am also very concerned to read the suggestion that the MTBA is pulling the plug on a Solo 24 Hour Nationals because it isn't UCI supported
At the very least the MTBA could just pick one of the private 24hr races (eg Rocky Trail Jet Black 24 or Forrest 24) and declare it the Nationals. It would be sad if the contingent to Scotland didn't have 2014 national champions at the helm
Nonetheless, I'd just like to thank the CORC team for their tireless efforts for the many years of awesome Easter racing

24Hrs in Cloudride
I think by any measure CORC have had a huge workload over the past twelve months with club events, the 24hr Nationals at Easter, the Scott 24hr on the October long weekend followed by WEMBO. Little wonder there is some volunteer fatigue. … but a standing ovation to them for their efforts.
For those that have been working towards a 2014 Easter 24Hr, as an alternative, I’m going to add a 24hr component with a difference to the Monaro Cloudride which is set to start in Canberra on Easter Saturday.
Basically anyone wanting to just do 24hrs can start with the 1000k riders at 8:00 am or at the traditional 24hr start time @ 12Noon and pedal as far as they can along the Cloudride1000k route in 24hours. The difference is you will need to ride unsupported and resupply along the route under the same constraints as the 1000k riders. You will have to hire from us a SPOT and be registered on trackleaders.com for route compliance. Hit the stop button on your SPOT on 24hours and will calculate your route distance for the elapsed time.
I’m negotiating some pretty decent prizemoney …..
We will organise a pick-up service [at end 24hrs] to retrieve you and your bike and return you back to Canberra on Sunday afternoon.
Should be fun and pretty easy for those that just want to get out there and crank it for 24 hours!
I’ll post up full details for the 24hr component on our website in a couple of days.

It really depends on just what you want to use them for .... but there's not many shops out where you might get to in 24hrs:tongue:

Wow, just wow.
With regards to that statement from CORC about MTBA and their support of 24hr, I'll be chasing up where it comes from. I can assure you that based on our own discussions this has no factual or justified basis going on what was recently agreed by the MTBA committee in relation to this years and future 24 hour championships. As you can imagine, I'm rather unimpressed that CORC would publish such a statement.

So what was agreed by the MTBA commitee with regards to this years 24 and how long until something released?

I'll chase up and get confirmation on what I can and can't say, because I can't go discussing details of what gets discussed in meetings until we agree it's to be published, but I don't believe it objectionable at all to that I don't know where that statement came from regarding agreed policy, and that it was not agreed policy, nor a position that we won't support 24hr racing in the future.

Surely as MTBA members we should be able to request minutes of the committee meetings? Surely this information in minuted?

My apologies, this took a couple of days longer than I would have liked and intended to get published on the MTBA website. This went up last night, with the EOI document now available. Follow article for links to documents.
