RealBike Insurance MTB Cruise

[Australia]

Yeh, thats not "Double Dissolution", its "terminal velocity" onto 'Dead Gum Dam'.

You're also right that the other two ways up the hill do not = 'Cruise'. Cardiac climb or BLue tongue/Heart Breaker. WHo wants to bet the world champs race takes one of the nastier options though?

People will die if we head up Cardiac.... climbing up to echidna gap will hurt - but probably won't kill anybody (it might even be fun)

Trailburner/Trailbunny are we allowed to camp at Stromlo on the Friday night?

Just spoke to the Stromlo guys about this - unfortunately camping is now allowed, but there is a campground up Cotter Rd not far from Stromlo where we camped in the past and it is quite nice.

Not long to go now. Looking forward to being in Stromlo again.. I love this place.. raced my first 24 solo there... proposed to my girlfriend who is now my wife...good times

And there is a 4pm cut off! So you need to average 17.5km/hr just to be able to start your 8th lap before 4pm!

Just a few questions, which I hope haven’t been asked before.

1. Is it possible to set up a marquee/tent to store things (food, drink, celebratory beer) anywhere near the crit track? And if so, what time could we get in to do this, assuming that we won’t be able to leave it set up over night.

2. I’m entered in the 50km cruise. If I’m physically able to go around for the fourth lap, can I? Or do I have to change my entry to the 80km now?

If you don’t want to camp, I might have a spare room, secure bike storage and a roll down to Stromlo (yep, it’s a steep hill to get up at the end of a ride) on offer

Dreggsy and I are heading down on Friday night. We may be keen on this offer. We can offer plenty of broccoli and custard as race food in return.

Gee, what an enticing offer, almost too good to refuse! I'll PM you with details if you promise to leave that at home

LOL

1 - yes either along the crit track or coming down the hill after the 4X track. Plenty of good spots to do that. We are open from 6.30 on Saturday

2. Yes, you can keep riding but your result will count in the 50km category. Please note that we made a typo in the last newsletter and the 50km ride is actually 3 purple laps and probably closer to 60km anyways.

Well if he brings the broccoli I promise to take a picture, and post it, of him sleeping in a bed with a flower quilt cover, a fluffy pillow and teddy bears

You're a brave one Kris, I wouldn't let them sleep out the back of my place in a tent, let alone in my house.
