I always see it at Wombat too. Cant work out why? I once ran over a massive pile that went all over my wheels and down tube and cranks and shoes. Didn't realise it was there untill we stopped at an intersection.

I dont think there is one single bit of flat! its either up or down! definitely the hardest race course in Vic, IMO
I am preparing for burn outI went for a ride there today. the course is unmarked, however i have an idea of where they're running it.
Plenty of sticks and crap on the track. I cleared a bit, but i ran out of time. Top get it in tip top condition, a dedicated trail clearing squad should be deployed ...hint hint!!
A couple of sections of standing pool water and some bogs to keep you on your toes. And some of the steeper sections have some water damage, making it pretty bumpy. Noting out of the usual.

Just mapped the course for round 9 at Mt Major and found 305 metres of climbing. There is a 2.4 km descent of -6.0% grade to catch your breath though.
I`ll post up better details later in it`s own thread.
Good luck to all at the Rock Hop. Wish I could be there.
Cheers

Just turn up

Was hoping to see posts from those who participated there. I walked some of the track but difficult to see ahead to spots to move to when you can't tell if a rider is coming so stuck to the top parts of the track near the camp. I was there encouraging the Team Sally guys who were participating. It certainly was a great day for it.

raced mixed pairs with the wife and had a great day!
It was nice sitting in under the tent in between laps and being socialable
Its definately a solid mtb course, not sure how many pure roadies would have liked those pinch climbs and tight single track.
We were sitting in the tent opposite Team Sally - pretty easy to notice their pink and blue jerseys

just took a look at the pics - nice work! You even got an action shot of me smiling
When I was off the bike I was kind of limping around - a badly sprained ankle does that. Thanksfully I can still ride although its really difficult (and painful!) to unclip!
5 months off would kill me I think!
