I'm feeling dizzy already 
Why Martin Why???
Does this mean we get our 8 hour round back at Del Rio? Or better yet, give Dargle an 8 Hour round and bring the 12/8 weekend to Del Rio!
(yes I like the track at Del Rio - alot)
-Andrew
edit: Whats that, about 7 weeks to recover from the Scott 24?

The track extension would make for a better enduro race track, but now that it's free entry I wonder how they will get the money to build it.
Or if they want to keep it Del Rio style, there is a big road loop through the gardens too.
Damm.
I already had a plan for next years race. We were going to book one of the houses do 6+6 with a big poker game on the saturday night.
Although the track isn't as good as Mt Annan I loved Del Rio as a venue. Where else was there a pool and a bar trackside. It will be interesting to see what happens with Del Rio now. The place has great potential but just needs somone to spend the time to get it there

mmm...fun track but not sure about doing 24hrs on it...seems a bit short and no long up hills with rewards of downhills. You need to be on the metal throughout all the course.
I agree. Mt Annan reminds me of yellowmundie. No major climbs but a tough course because you are always working with little oppertunity to rest. However Mt Annan are are planning to extend the track in time for the race. If its more of the same though it will be a tough day out.

8 Weeks to recover from the Scott 24. Thats plenty to be able to solo both (under normal conditions)
I am a little disappointed about the date though - the Uni year ends on the Friday, so I may well be travelling direct from my last exam out to Mt Annan on the Friday night before the race. The reason the Feburary date was so awesome was that (a) it gave you an incentive to get rid of the post Xmas/NYE gut and (b) it meant I could put training on the backburner for the 6 weeks necesary to get through my end of year exams and assignments (that 6 week period is typically the unhealthiest of my year and is based around 6 hours of sleep a night and microwavable food) but still have enough time to get back to full fitness before the race.

Yep,world solo course was brutal although it also had it's rewards in the form of skyline and the luge track. I just don't see the same rewards at Mt Annan. In any case, Rocky Trail will no doubt hold a good gig.BRING IT ON!!!!!!! Couldn't be more brutal than last years world solo course, it's under an hour from home, and what better way to earn the Christmas binge than doin a 24 solo 3 weeks out. I'm there.
