I got the email saying that at 10:08 today.
(Not that it's an issue for me, having got in when they first opened.)

I wasn't so thanks for the tip!Rambler said:
Now that is just bizarre, making us get up at 4am to deal with an extra hour in the car, then parking cars with bikes on them in the inner city while we go to a hotel to register, then turn around and drive back out to the start... What is that all about? Marketing I guess, they want all entrants to visit the major sponsor on the way... I'd pay $20 extra to not have to to that and have one less sponsor.
I guess they do this at the Fling (rego is in town), but that's got a whole event vibe thing there, the town is buzzing, far from a cold corporate 5 star hotel feel, especially at 5am.
I'm winging tho, I must have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed
bear the bear
Is a real bear
you didn't read the late rego bit did you....I wasn't so thanks for the tip!

I have had to dump this race for this reason. Wasn't prepared to drive a couple of hours, then drive all the way into Canberra, rego and back out again. It would of been a 2.30am start for me. Disappointed as I was looking forward to it. The organisers were great though. Full refund. No worries!I wasn't so thanks for the tip!

Having registration centrally located on the day before makes greater sense than camping Rego somewhere out on the Kings Highway. Agree that late rego makes more sense at the start, but this is probably a disencentive to decrease the late regos and and their (AROC) work load on the day.
This is pretty rich coming from a cyclist who apparently lives in Ainslie, less than 10 minutes ride from registration.
Also, since when does Canberra have traffic (apart from 830-900 and 1700-1730 weekdays)?
You lot all realise you can rego anytime between 4 and 10PM Friday, right?
For mine, a 7AM start is a little early for both races, but I guess there could be slower riders taking almost 10 hours to do the 100km course and it'll be getting dark at 5PM.
