This film we made was on an AMB DVD a few year's ago. Our third JetBlack 24 hour - definitely a hot one.
Getting everyone in the mood for some 24 hour racing!

couln't bare the thought of doing a race in 45 deg heat again. But I do love the 6+6 catergory

well officially it was 39 deg.....

We're back from the Crocodile Trophy and in full swing to prepare everything for our 100th race.
We are about 2/3 full at the moment so still some spots available for you.

Keen as mustard

Keen as for the 24 hour - have a team of four planned - The Rudi Zarsoff Allstars".
Managed a few laps recently and was impressed and a little intimidated by the Mt Annan course.
Have a look at the practice laps here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58fd5NyLlcw
Struggled as well and didn't realise until I saw the video how "solid" I looked in lycra - lol
Bring it on I say - first endurance MTB race and new to the sport - may there be plenty more on the horizon!!

entry list?

 

[MATTY R]

I don't want to jinx it.... But the weathers looking like it be be near perfect...

There is a bit of rain forecast in the lead up but the weekend looks nice and cool. Something different

If we do get heavier showers we will use parts or all of the B-track which means you will race on an everchanging track - should make for some good racing too.

Gates on Friday and Saturday evening will be open until 8pm. From 5pm you have to use the Mt Annan drive entry.

Preliminary Rider list can be found here - there will be a few more as registration is still open.

We are expecting a few showers on Friday but Saturday and Sunday looks dry and cool. Depending on how much rain we get and how quickly it dries up again we might use parts or all of the B-track at the beginning of the race and put you back onto the A-track as it dries out. While we prefer to race entirely on the A-track a changing track should make for some interesting racing.

Registration is still open until tonight 8pm.
