Wind is OK, hope it hasn't rained too much leading upto the event ... windy last year and the race was fineHope its not windy next weekend.
oh boy was it windy last year camping on the saturday nite....... windy last year and the race was fine
Lookin forward to it, can soemone from SCUM tell me if the timing tent will be set up in the same place as last year?After driving home from Coolendel late last night after yesterdays heavy rain I can report that the road in to Coolendel had already dried out except for a couple of small puddles, and that this rain will not affect the track for the weekends racing.
This means track conditions should be great .
Current weather reports are very favorable. So all is looking good for a great weekend.
Cool, thanks for that. So camping up near the amenities block I will be!Just call in at the Park Office on entry and after booking in they will give you the directions to the MTB race headquarters.
Which by the way is the same as last year.
It looks like the wager has scared you of Mr Loaded. Not prepared to defend your title. There was talk of some HEAVY combo teams for the Sunday. Eg 2 riders Total >200kg.Unfortunatley cant make it. It conflicts with my heavy training schedule for the Hawaii Ironman (thats training the left arm to sink as many stubbies as I can whilst watching the ironman on tv). Spewing though, the coolendel wknd is one of the most enjoyable wknds of the year as far as mtb and family camping is concerned. And the costs r alot more reasonable than those other bigger, non-refundable events. Any one thinking about coming down the south coast for a totally enjoyable, relaxing family friendly weekend of mtb, do yourself a favour and checkout Coolendel this weekend!
Don't have any data unfortunately, but if you follow the walking trails around the perimeter you can sniff out the single track plus there is a bit up near the entrance but you've gotta watch out for walkers and some of the actual circuit they set up runs through what would notmally be campsites. It's good for a muck around when its busy, just sniff around the walking tracks and don't go charging to hard and you'll have a bit of fun.Bit of a grave dig here, but i figured you guys could help me out.
Going to Coolendel in a couple of weeks time, does anyone have any GPS data (Garmin etc) from the races there earlier in the year?
Failing that a map or just general description of where the track is?
From what ive read its largely a walking track too.. kind of worried me a bit, might be bad form to ride it.
