2 years of the red/blue hourglass courses at Stromlo (2007 & 2008) had mid 40's average rider track spacing.

Which felt about right.

If we help Mullet get 10% more track work done, can he put another 2km in?

@Russ, any word on online entries being editable?

Does anyone know if teams can have heaters their marquees? I note that solos are not allowed unless they hire special marquees from CORC is all.

It doesn't say anything about it on the website, so running a gas heater in my teams own marquee should be OK?

 

[muvro]

Don't tell my missus you've got a heater, she'll abandon supporting my team for yours... lol

Quote:
"....Nor fires, cookers, or heaters of any kind are permitted with 4 metres of any Event Structure or Stromlo Forest Park structure, including cabins and Hoecker marquees, unless these devices have been provided by the race organisers."

My read of it is that in the Teams camping area subject to suitable clearance then the answer is yes. Inside your own marquee/pop-up shelter (or Pizzaz's Army 'camping' hootchie - ) - nope.
Given a 8m x 8m space the specified degree of clearance may make camp set up interesting and talking to your neighbours about their set up mandatory.

There is also mention of adult supervision somewhere in there too.


Bear - out

Update on the Heaters, Cookers etc in Tents

OK, I have had some discussions with the ACT Fire Safety Dept and the Hire Company for the Marquees. Based on this, the rules will be relaxed somewhat for heaters and cookers, and the event website will be amended soon. In summary you can bring your own heaters and cookers subject to:

Mushroom and flat-panel gas heaters, gas cookers, fuel stoves and gas lights will be allowed in tents and pit rows (including in hired marquees) provided:
. they are no closer than 1 metre to any wall or ceiling,
. they are only be operated when the tent is open and responsible adult is present, and
. a fire blanket or dry-powder extinguisher is available in the tent/marquee.

No solid fuel cookers (like a webber hot coal BBQ) are allowed anywhere.

No open fires or braziers are allowed anywhere.

Users will be responsible for fire and/or heat damage caused by items in their charge.

In the Solo Pit Row, a representative of the hire company will inspect the hired marquees for damage on Sunday morning prior to the race finishing.

For info, the ACT Fire Brigade policy is attached. See section 5.10.

@Russ, any word on online entries being editable?

Quoted for answers?

 

[Le Matelot]

Not yet - in theory you log on and then edit your team or rider details. Will chase it up again.

 

[leftieant]

Thanks Russ. Sure you've got a gazillion things on the to-do list at the moment.

 

[rideabike]

Is there any update as to when/or if riders can log in to update team details yet? Just had a look around the site and this doesn't seem to be an option. Or I'm going blind.

This is going to sound weird, but email your change requests to MTBA and they will do it ...

What's the Course

Just digging this thread out for all the Team riders at this years Scott.

Any news on the course????
Who's riding to the top of the hill, solo's, teams or both?
Starting to get excited and need to know how much pain I'm in for after a winter of laziness.

 

[muvro]

Is there any info about the exact course etc. I've never ridden in canberra and would like to go have a run just to familiarise myself with the course.

Any links etc?

Website says course will be published 2 weeks before race.

 

[Knopey]

Yep and it also says:
"In general, the world solo riders will go over the top of Mount Stromlo and back down the eastern face. The team riders will go around the north ridge to the western side of Mount Stromlo."

Reckon that's all we'll know until near the end of the month

Edit: the map on that link is pretty small but there's a larger PDF map here: http://www.stromloforestpark.com.au/maps/documents/SFP_PrecinctMap.pdf

The exact teams course will depend will be dependent on exact team numbers. Riders on course will determine which bits we add in or leave out.

Knopey's description gives you an idea of what to expect though...
