Sorry, quick sensible question,
is this track going to be suitable for a roadie to make their mtb racing debut, they will be in a team of 3
edit: Cha Cha, im in exactly the same boat - fortunately I have exams and term papers due b/w now and then, so I'm not worried

Lets face it... 100kg including bike isn't exactly a Clyde... 85kg rider + (reasonable) dually + shoes + gear = 100kg. 85kg ain't all that big! At Wildside the clyde category was (IIR) 95kg+ just the rider.
Sure, to be up the pointy end you're looking at sub 75kg riders but looking at the last few choccy foot rounds (riders _and_ bikes) then 1/2 the mes field would be in that category
First race for me was Sydney 12hr at about 110kg sans ... well... everything
Now thats a Clyde!

Haha, i can take that. Bring on the wildside rules and I'm still in the game plus it takes out a big chunk of the "marginal" competition.Lets face it... 100kg including bike isn't exactly a Clyde... 85kg rider + (reasonable) dually + shoes + gear = 100kg. 85kg ain't all that big!

I imagine I'll be up closer the 110 mark all told...

Having said that, most people that Yellowmundee sends home in an ambulance usually come off on what most of us consider the easier bits.
Does your roadie friend realize he'll get his white soxes dirty?

Ah, so thats what Spoonie looks like, nice to put a face to a name
Anywho believe it or not, our roadie isnt a he, but I dont think she'll worry too much about getting her white socks dirty - besdies, whats wrong with wearing white socks MTBing I still do (although they have a definate brownish tnge now)

OK so how has Yellomundee held up after all the rain? Have only ridden once before there (in the summer when it was blazing hot) and it is pretty sandy in places and I guess there's a bit of clay in other areas.

Round 3 update
Hey all,
Just confirming that entries close at 10am this Thursday. But if you had entered early (before midnight last Friday) like lucky Jasen Raymond did, you could have won a 2 day Wilderness First Aid Course with Adventure Medic worth $350!
Enter here
An excited Megan Scott & Paul Traynor draw the Adventure Medic First Aid course prize!
Everyone else will just have to settle for the freakin' awesome track that has been freshly groomed by the excellent members of WSMTB. Club prez Scott Ardron says "Trackwork is done. Yellomundee is primo. You wouldn't even know it's rained for the last week."
The proposed course can be found here
And of course there will be great giveaways from our fantastic sponsors including a $1500 voucher to spend on the Cannondale bike of your choice AND someone's walking away with a pair of uber-bling Avid Elixir Carbon brakes!
The not so exciting stuff: At the behest of NPWS, parking will be limited, so buddy up and share the ride or talk to Will at www.mtnbike.com.au and catch his specially setup bus and trailer to get you there in style.
The weather's looking good for the weekend (a shed-load better than it has been!) so get your team organised and get your entry in!
In other news: We just received the entry of a certain former National Champion and NORBA winner, looks like mens pairs will be very hotly contested...
