Scott 24 Hr 2012

[StanTheMan]

I can only see some videos. I asked a friend to log into facebook for me so I could check out the maps. To the untrained eye it looks like its the same course as last year. Or very very similar.

last year, the guns would do the red lap in less than 35min. first 20 min are a climb uphill. but sooooo worth it on the way back down.
slightly above avarage would do it in 40min. avarage would be somewhere around 45 min.

Blue lap.....about 10 min more than red for the avarage person.

Scott Info

The Scott Website has been updated with recent info. There is an album here which contains some high-res maps and village plans. You can download these (but some are big - be warned).

Some notes:

. The road to Stromlo from the south has changed a little bit with the new suburb work being done. This is shown on the road map in that album.

. The course this year takes a different route to and from the mountain, so there is much less of the event camping which is "inside" the course. This means you will be able to get in/out easier. But - there are still some camping areas inside the course, and if you're there, you're there until 1500 Sunday.

Entry lists as of an hour ago attached. If you are one of those many TBA's - please email me with your details ...

This is going to be a great watch from the computer, English, Chancellor, Mc Donald, Page, Wallace, Hall. It will be rudely quick.

Could the magical 500km in 24hrs be broken??

Mate if you were there racing, you would be hitting 600km ;-)

Not to mention Tour Divide record holder Ollie Whalley racing SS. I am very curious to see how that unfolds. It's a great SS course, I'm also tempted to crack out the singlespeed. It's there in the pits as no. 2.... hmmmm

Don't think the 500km mark will get broken at Stromlo

I'm interested if anyone's got a spot in a car going on Friday or even Thursday. I'm intending to join its volunteers, so I'll be part of the stuff that makes it happen. Can go from anywhere in or around Sydney.

Scott Course Profile

Where 2 days out. Surely someone has a garmin of strava plot of the course with a profile by now.

 

[Knopey]

Well yeah, but the course map posted above pretty much covers it as far as the map goes (roughly). Not the profile though.

Here's my GPS's take on the Red and Blue lap profiles

Conditions

Has anyone who's been out setting up so far seen how the trails are taking this rain? 33 mm so far, and 3-6 mm tomorrow, I want to know if the spikes should be going on (tubeless is good until you have to change them in the rain in a campsite)!

Cheers

 

[StanTheMan]

If its any consolation. Last years run up to the race was very wet. It rained on the Friday the ground we camped on was firm but muddy.
The track itself wasn't too bad. There was only a few dodgy spots.

Although there was this massive puddle just before you hit the tarmac before hitting transition, people waiting in transition thought ...... Ohhh shite it's a bloody mud bath out there.

[singlespeeding is the way]

I had a walk around some of the flatter bits if the track this afternoon. Unlike last year when the ground still felt firm under foot, this afternoon the ground was soft and mud 2-3 inches deep and in many places. Small rivers running down the track in other places.

There ain't no disguising it. It's bloody wet! I put the Nobby Nic on the front today. The rear goes on tomorrow. The dirt road into the 4s and 6s camp site was a quagmire 5 mins after the gate opened. If the forecast is correct, rain should ease in the morning and clear to isolated showers by afternoon. There is a chance of a shower in the evening on Sat. Problem is the temp is so bloody low the track won't have much time to dry off! 16 deg Fri, 17 deg Sat with a severe frost predicted Sunday morning. Bring the warm clothes. Bring the mud guards. Bring a sense of humour....

and bring someone else's bike ;^)

Plenty of water running everywhere this evening. Certainly squelchy. My hands were getting very cold in my wet gloves.
I only rode up Blackberry and then luge + DH section.
Some more bunting will go up on the DH part for the race.

 

[crash bandicoot]

hmmm....60 mm of rain in the last 2 days with more forecast for today. Going to need more than studded tyres as parts of the course are already unridable. Decision time, trash my bike and body by riding or stay warm ang dry at home?

last year in the days leading up to the scott about 10mm of rain fell, this year so far 57mm, good for the garden but not for mtb racing.
