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

Interesting to see what reply I get.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,
That is sweet news, team riders are nice and all, but whippets pushing people over aint (my wife just got back from nuclear medicine where they were doing bone scans due to whippets pushing her over at the Scott)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.
It's not an issue for CORC who run the Easter Nationals at a loss, propped up by profits from the Scott 24hr, and god bless them for being that generous.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.
The income isn't an issue - its the expenditureLe 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.
Yep. 100% agree!and god bless them for being that generous.

Unless we all hardened up and actually paid entry proportionally to the cost of the event (and not whinged about it)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.
I was just thinking about how they could run 2 separate loops at Telegraph point. I have a planUnless 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 should read the tender and see if NSWMTB can't help out...I was just thinking about how they could run 2 separate loops at Telegraph point. I have a plan

Couldn't agree more. I rode it yesterday on the way through and it reminded me why I loved it so much in the first place.Love that track!
electricity to all sites, hot showers, floodlights for the main area....Love that track! Would be awesome for a 24, and you wouldn't have to worry about your tent .
yup... Quick back of the envelope numbers, I reckon getting the core costs sorted would be the kicker. Maybe we should chat more offlineelectricity to all sites, hot showers, floodlights for the main area....
I think you could also crack 450km on this track
