Looking for one, maybe two riders for a six man team..
We've had a person pull out and another one who is sick and looks marginal so we would take two more people for a six man team.
The team as it stands is mixed age and mixed ability so you get out what you put in, i.e. ride as fast as you want to get good lap times or just cruise for fun. We do want to have riders out there for the whole 24 hours but I'm happy to ride all night if that means getting us through!!
Anyway, contact me if you're interested. clone278 at gmail dot com
NB: We're all based in Sydney but does that matter?

If you mean the men's - there are five of the top 8 from this year's 24h Nationals entered already. Usual suspects. It will be a great race (for 2nd place).
No idea on the women's!
Cheers for that but I was hoping for an insight into womens, hopefully we get a few!!

Late Entries
Have been getting a lot of emails with creative reasons for missing the online entry system cutoff (last Friday night - 23 Sep - in case you're wondering).
For those who forgot to enter, but still want to, you can email me and I can send you a manual way of doing it. Obviously, the earlier you do it, the better chance of getting the right size T Shirt, name on your plate etc.
Some places still available.

I just hope some track maintenance occurs. I just got back from doing a night lap and the red loop (what you would expect to be pretty tame) was pretty gnarly in sections!
Brake ruts galore on the descent. Also a 'hows your mother in-law' section just before the gap jump.
The flow of skyline seams chopped by a lot of baby head rocks (shrugs) maybe I'm getting soft but the many complaints following the recent 3 hour and 4/8 confirm I'm not the only one.
Radom :llama: for your amusement...
eace: haha there;s some random smileys...

Entry Lists and Village Plans are Up
... in the News Section of the Scott event website. There are links there to either a 10MB or 1MB village plan. You might need the bigger file if you want to read the finer detail.
Solos and T4s start on red (solos get a few minutes head start), the rest of the categories start on blue.
Mr TBA is making a lot of appearances at the race this year. If you're one of them, email me so we can get it sorted before rego. Makes life easier for the volunteers on the day (and for you too).

Happy to shift people. The only real rationale so far (apart from people like Mr English) is that:
. Those who ordered a fitted solo marquee are together because of construction issues.
. I have tried to keep the women together.
. People who have asked to be in a group have been kept together.
. There is no race advantage based on solo pit location (although the may be some "exposure" advantage).
For all the remaining 3x3 areas for the pit tent and the associated 3x3 sleeping tent site behind it, I expect that there will be some adjustment on-the-day. But if you let me know early, its easier to change now than on Friday.

Camping for Families?
I am after some advice on the suitability for taking my family to the event to support me as a solo. Will two kids (4 and 8) get in the way? Are kids discourage from the pit area? Are there areas where they can ride their bikes safely?
Also, am I being naive to think that I will be well rested for the race if I camp in the solo area on Friday night?

No, red loop goes straight past the start of pork barrel to Skyline and Luge, which will be the best sections in the race IMHO. Downhill all the way back to transition. Woohoo!

I'll have the 4 and 8 year old out there - there's normally plenty of fun to be had on the running track and the dirt piles - my mum and the wife are doing solo pit duties.
If you live local I'd have a couple of beers Friday night and sleep at home
If it's going to be wet and windy it won't be much fun for the kids.
