Strictly talking A-lines, there's more gaps on the XC track!
Bikes, booze, social commentary and music.

This might work, There's a new bit of track that avoided the Jelly Leg Climb (I guess they didn't want any fat DHers having a heart attackIs it possible that someone could put up a map of the ourimbah Xc loop, then draw in this track, so we can see exactly where it was. I'm real keen for the next one.

Not really an issue.....This might work, There's a new bit of track that avoided the Jelly Leg Climb (I guess they didn't want any fat DHers having a heart attack
....most of us carry our own defibrilators.
Nice map BTW.
So if I can summarise the feedback in this thread:
1. Track was good
2. Best of two runs format was good (given the number of flats)
3. We need more categories eg masters
4. We need to separate the Women's and Mens classes (this came in to me via text and in the pits afterwards)
5. Shuttles were worthwhile
6. We need better communication/chasing people to get to the start in time for their run.
7. (Not mentioned in feedback) We need more helpers. This race took more than double the number of helpers compared to a DH race, and we still didn't have enough. It took three of us all day Saturday to set up as well, plus a few ring ins in the afternoon. We will be looking for more assistance for the next one.
8. Have I missed anything?

Hi, my bit on the format,
When it's hot, get it done and dusted earlier.
Possibly, in summer, a morning series, first shuttle at 8am, two runs
Compulsory, then 2 race runs all rapping up before 12pm.
Makes it easier for those of us with families, and
The HEAT....
Think the format will be a great success.
O, with the track, it can never be wrong, a different track
Every race can work, variety is fun and challenging!!
My 2 cents

Thanks CCOMTBC for putting the event on, and good on you for trying something new. Maybe in a few years time we can all brag about being at the first one in NSW. The track was perfect too.

I don't think you have really missed anything. With the 15 sec gaps i think it would be possible to wrap it up early. I'm sure you could delegate some jobs to club members at the sign on for after the race. eg. packing up the BBQ, tents, tables etc. - things that could be done after the presentation.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
Bugger masters, give us a hardtail class.

1. Track was good track was fantastic, I think it covered every aspect of riding
2. Best of two runs format was good (given the number of flats) def need 2 runs / 2 compuslory practice with stickers to prove this
3. We need more categories eg masters yes
4. We need to separate the Women's and Mens classes (this came in to me via text and in the pits afterwards) correct even though they probably beat me
5. Shuttles were worthwhile fact
6. We need better communication/chasing people to get to the start in time for their run. yes
7. (Not mentioned in feedback) We need more helpers. This race took more than double the number of helpers compared to a DH race, and we still didn't have enough. It took three of us all day Saturday to set up as well, plus a few ring ins in the afternoon. We will be looking for more assistance for the next one.
Put the call out while people are waiting for presentation, to help fold up tents etc, i'm sure we wont mind as its in the car park anyway

How easy is it to find the all mountain track used or the race? As I would mind having a ride on it?
I now it started on the Dh track down to bk express and then onto the fire road but no idea from there. Did it go to five way and join the xc trail up jelly leg climb and down roller coaster?
