Not sure what last years was, but we did a ride on Monday of the marked course (Inc party line) and was just on the 1hour. Hit some sections pretty solidly, but mostly just a cruisey pace for fire roads etc.. The average lap time I would estimate come race day would be around the hour mark, with quicker riders pushing 45-50min and those there for fun anywhere up to 1:30
Hope that's somewhat useful

I'm not sure about actual kms, but the course imho will flow better this year with plenty of fireroad overtaking room, the ascent is not steep, short and punchy and the track is in great condition. It should be a wonderful spectacle at night to see so many riders out over the mountain.Thanks, that's useful. That's quicker than I thought it would be... but that's good news.
I thought someone said that track length was up around 18km? Was that about right?

I didn't see too much fireroad yesterday. I reckon a ratio of 17 singletrack, 1 fireroad.....

my ratio was kilometre based!
I think you may have the middle part incorrectly labelled (wholly) as fireroad trail.
They have cut a new section in that runs parallel to the fireroad, after you descend 'Little Seymour'.
It then pops out onto the fireroad just above the trailhead to 'double dissolution'.

You forgot the last ~1km of the lap, which if it isn't firetrail looks to be close enough (straight/flat/open.)
Is it open and usable yet? I'm heading out there shortly, will try and ride it (and maybe track it on my Garmin..)

Where did you get the course map from? Scott24hr.com.au still says it will be posted 2 weeks before... but its not!
Can anyone confirm the NO CARS in campsites rule?? They've always said this I thought, but it's never been policed? That really chnages things.

1. Read the News on the Scott website - course maps available.
2. Read the comments about cars in above thread in RB ...... sounds like it very much will be enforced.

Thanks for posting up. Is there any word on security for this car park? Will there be patrols going round?
(Acknowledge it's not happening) But guess another advantage of bringing the car into your designated campsite is you can lock things in it, and watch over it. Leaving it up in that main car park you may want to reconsider what you leave inside it.
Cheers

There is security out there from the time the event village opens. As to where its going to be patrolling, can all the criminals who read Rotorburn not read the next sentence please ...

Makin' Trax finished Willow's Trail yesterday arvo and we marked it as part of the course, hopefully some rain overnight has helped bed it in. You pop out of Little Seymore (the gutter will get filled in soon BTW) and have ~50m on fireroad before a short pinch up and into Willow's Trail. Unfortunately the really wet weather of September means we haven't been able to connect it to Wombat Junction. The trail will be dedicated on Thursday, time TBA.
Fire road in the teams course;
- The ride from the end of Willow's Trail (at the top of Double Dissolution) to Deep Creek,
- Terminal Velocity,
- The final teams descent to the 4X track is an old trail for laying a gas/electricity service which we are using as SFP/TVE asked that we don't use Wattle Happen in reverse, and
- About 50m from Fenceline (behind the DH track) to the beginning of Homeview Junction climb
Most of the trails the teams will be on have plenty of good overtaking opportunities. From previous years people's abilities to make use of them are the issue, but I'll put that in my rider's brief for Saturday morning...
Cheers!
