Personally I think last years Scott course was awesome, both night and day laps, it included what I think are all of the best parts of Stromlo. I understand that this is the 24hr 'world championships' but it's a bit of a pity that the rest of us are seemingly relegated to 'what's left' of the mountain, we don't even summit it and it's not a very big hill! Looking at the map it looks like a constant watt-age Mont style track which as a downhiller I find pretty boring; the solo lap has the last 5km as pure descending...devo
That said I have never ridden a large percentage of this course so I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised but missing out on skyline, berm, Pork B and DD is fairly heartbreaking
