Red racer first in 4 hours flat. From memory I think second was 10min further back. Really fast course. The majority, if all racers in the 100km were back in by 7hours. There was not one or two but rather 10-15, not puddles but swimming pools of mud, some waist deep. Good organisation, great vibe and fantastic weather.Any results that we can see? Can anyone share the top 5?

Yeh, everyone we spoke to on Sunday morning wanting a heads up on the course, no.1 on the list was DONT try and ride through the water\mud\sludge.went head first into 1 foot deep sludge,.
and managed to snag a podium spot after thinking i was no where near it
had a great time.
....And bike, was interesting having this race with fresh memories of the Capital Punishment. You could tell the riders who'd just rebuilt their rigs. Easier wash mud out of shoes and off legs than BBs and hubs!!Yeh, everyone we spoke to on Sunday morning wanting a heads up on the course, no.1 on the list was DONT try and ride through the water\mud\sludge.
And you snagged that podium 'cos you were willing to put your body on the line, (or in the mud)!!
I was very concious of trying to keep the mud out of the drive train. Unfortunately on a couple of the bigger holes you needed to balance on something to get through the sippery clay.....And bike, was interesting having this race with fresh memories of the Capital Punishment.

Shhhhhh. We won't care if people head over to Husky looking for trails after the good press the race has received. More space on the dirt for us.....i think the people of callala beach might be a bit pissed though. the race was in their town, at their rsl, and it was called the huski100??? huski is 40k away and the race goes no where near it.
Good point but I'd say the name will stick.i think the people of callala beach might be a bit pissed though. the race was in their town, at their rsl, and it was called the huski100??? huski is 40k away and the race goes no where near it.
Actually, I was wondering how much of the single track is available to ride? I only rode the 50, so don't know what I missed in the 100, but mud holes aside I'd like to ride some of it again.Shhhhhh.

Ted the best ST you rode in the fifty would of been coondoo starting around the 15-20k mark I'm guessing, it started about 65k into the 100. That is definitely rideable anytime, maybe consider the Shack Attack 6hr there on the 18th July I think it is, I'll be there, i think there could be a thread here about it somewhere but some info on the SCUM website. There was some other stuff early on and later on that I think was private property but the main bit was Coondoo.Actually, I was wondering how much of the single track is available to ride?
