I'm the guy responsible for setting the course for this year's Brindabella Challenge Mountainbike Race. Just want to know what riders thought of it.
Too long? Too short? Too much climbing?
What about the river crossing at the end?
Sorry, couldn't control the weather (it was a bit wet/windy/cold up high). Also note that there is no singletrack out in the Brindabella Mountains at present, so we have to make do with firetrails.
Not sure if the club (CORC) will run the event next year - a number of political issues require resolution. If we do, I'll probably be involved in setting the course again, and I'm keen to improve on this year's effort.
Other ideas for the future:
Short (25-30km), Medium (50-60km) and Long (100-120km) courses.
Team Trophy: riders nominate their team, team time = sum of first 3 riders, separate category for "factory" teams.
Thoughts?
