Australian Solo MTB Champs - Easter 2010?

[normdouglas]

BTW, are supporters getting T-Shirts or something... my pit crew was creeped you wanted their shirt size

Support crew don't need "freebies"... because we have all the power, and get all the GLORY! Bwaahahaha.

I know with the Scott etc there's an advantage in turning up Friday night so as to avoid the hassle of queueing to get in on Saturday, find a spot etc. Is that the case with the Nats, or is it feasible to rock up Saturday morning without getting in a jam?

As a support bloke I guess I need to work these things out Maybe yoga classes too?

you're going to have what... 100-150 riders vs 2,500?

I've always got there early saturday I think. We rocked up laster year friday night, but didn't move in till saturday morning and it wasn't too bad. All the locals had the front row spots already but I think that'll be less of an issue this year

You can enter on the day, at the venue, but it will cost an additional $30.

the Solo Nats is for solos only, so far fewer people at the event. Arriving Saturday is not a problem in terms of getting space etc, but it might not be the best preparation for the rider.

A red hot curry on the other hand is appropriate at either time

...never trying that one again!

I've tried that tactic. People just want to get passed even quicker.

 

[griggsy]

Any updates?

Is there a chance for any updates on course details or the rider entry list?

Also, as the pit row will be the same as the worlds, will be alocated a spot or is it first come first served? Will riders be able to group together?

Looking forward to this race.

Cheers

I know the course hasn’t been officially announced as yet, however as this years “Road Block”, I was hoping that someone would be willing to show my friends and I what the course was like last year.

Ideally you could spare us some time this week, perhaps an hour after work or after the Thursday night crits?

There will be beer involved.

 

[ebuk]

........, however as this years “Road Block”,

I'm picturing your pit area with some barriers, signs and warning lights and your pit crew with fluro vests, a STOP / SLOW sign and one of these torches, all of which 'may' have been borrowed from a local council.

 

[Kris_on_1]

All of that ^^^ sounds like a good idea. I'll be a (slow) moving work in progress, complete with numerous smoko breaks.

Don't forget shovels for those unfortunate enough not to have a STOP/SLOW sign to lean on.
