maybe we can get an expert C-Grade racer to tell us what we need.
I don't race C grade any more, but for what it is worth, I would highly suggest taking your lights to this event.

Hi there,
There has been a lot of discussion, particularly in online forums, between riders wanting to know where the 2010 Solo 24-hr National championships will be held with the existing contract with CORC expiring this year.
There is even slight concern with the time left to request submissions, review them and announce a new club/promoter for the next few years, while still giving everyone enough time to prepare for the event. As you would be aware there is an increased interest in the national champsionships with the announcement that the 2010 Solo 24 hour World Championships will be in Canberra.
Therefore can I ask that an announcement be made by MTBA to the riding community in regards to the actions that MTBA is looking to take in regards to this.
Thanks,
The Australian Solo 24 Hour MTB Championship race must be conducted as a Solo-only race. The 24
hour Solo MTB Championships can be held in concert with a 24hr Teams competition but only if the Solo
Championship’s course is completely separate from the Teams course except for the start and finish areas.
Le Matelot has said a few times its being run regardless of it being Nationals or not, so clearly the income from the race isn't an issue.

and god bless them for being that generous.

It would be an issue for an another club to run it as a solo only event I imagine (they would have to cover the costs from some other big event they run, or have less prizes [CORC give flights to the Worlds to male and female winners] and equipment), and a show stopper for a private promoter.
Unless we all hardened up and actually paid entry proportionally to the cost of the event (and not whinged about it)
Personally, there are a couple of great venues in NSW ( Port Macq, Kangaroo Valley) and a few in Vic (Forrest for one) off the top of my head that I think would make great Solo Nats venues. Cost/organisation etc aside...

I was just thinking about how they could run 2 separate loops at Telegraph point. I have a plan![]()

Love that track!
Love that track! Would be awesome for a 24, and you wouldn't have to worry about your tent.
electricity to all sites, hot showers, floodlights for the main area....
I think you could also crack 450km on this track![]()
