Yeah rolling through to get to the shuttle spot after each run is a tad different to having to do it in a race run.....You would then need to close the XC trails as you'd need to use the closest shuttle road or...............pedal to the normal shuttle spot. Der!

That is a good point. A venue like Stromlo can handle hundreds of riders, it would be a shame to turn people off the race if they wanted to avoid "the pedal". I know it is part of the track but it only exists for UCI events doesn't it? Wasn't it only ever put in place because a UCI event requires the four cross and the downhill to finish in the same gate?
For the record, I don't mind the single track directly after the table top but when it opens up just before the gap and the drops it gets a bit dull.

This guy is on the money. And it would make a good finish area for spectating.
I agree with Ryan, i thought it was a really fun track last year and had a sick atmosphere. Just hope it is in decent condition.

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! farking sweeeet!!!!!
if I had to say do i like or hate stromlo, I would be leaning to the hate side. But that doesnt mean that im not going to race there. It doesnt matter where a race is held or what type of track it is i will still turn up and have a great time because i love benig on my bike. yeh i would be nice to have perfect tracks everytime we race but (well deffenitly me) most of us arent pros. lets just ride
If it's feasible to finish just after the Triple Triple, I think it sounds like a good idea. Would make for a good atmosphere to finish there, will hopefully get a few more people to the race as there won't be "the pedal", and we may be able to run the shuttles from near that point anyway. It's a good spot for spectators for sure.
I'll check with TVE to see if there's any reason why we can't finish there, but I can't see why not.
Any serious objection to finishing there let me know. dh(at)corc.asn.au

I wouldn't drive ten hours to ride half of the track. The bottom half is fun too! Don't skimp on it.
Thank Christ for Coffs Harbour eh!

Its hardly like your missing half the track, 30+ secs of pedal its not like we're starting after the rock garden.
The pedal doesn't need to be in it like you said before it was the for uci rules that the 4x and dh had to finish at the same spot.

+1 for getting rid of the pedal. Why not give a new finish a try and see how it goes? Would be good for spectators too.
AHAHAHAHAHAH Why don't you weld your cranks into place buddy?
Everyone who hates pedaling so much needs to take up riding motor bikes . . .

why finish it at triple treat. there is still wallaby run if its going to finish early finish it at the table at wallaby run and miss the last little pedal.
i think people should just toughen up and pedal its a bike it has pedals and is designed to do it. just my 2 cents

For lack of better reasoning for the poor fella, I'm going to guess he actually meant TRIPLE TRIPLE, and that he meant after the big dog table top, and eliminate the pedal afterwards.
Finishing it after Triple Treat is just smack talk.
