I'm guessing by the lifejacket being worn, this is about to be launched into a body of water?

Needed SS rider to complete 4 man team.
Our team at the Mont has lost a rider due to him miscalculating when his wife's baby was due! So if at this late stage anyone is interested in joinging a 4 man single speed team please raise your hand up. Times for laps will probably be the 55 to 70min mark in our team so not overly competitive.
If you don't have a single speed our lost rider will even lend his.. it ain't great but it does have one gear.
So anyone interested please PM me.
EDIT : Have a rider now...!

I'll take mid to high 20's during the afternoon if it means that its not to cold at night. After the Scotts i learnt that 3am rides after an hours sleep do not go well with freezing weather.
Very excited we are only days away now!

Mate, you were all for cuddling in the tent "to keep warm"!
Too right on the temps though - the Scott was bloomin freezing at night.
From a conversation with him on Saturday, it's now 2/3 the same as last year. A couple of changes over in the logged area, and a couple of new bits of track added to the other side.
If anyone did the 3hr race that was on a few weeks ago, the first part of the course is the same as that until half-way up the fireroad climb after the dam. About 1.5km in, maybe? (Is that exactly the same start as last year? I can't remember!)
Course length is now approx 18.7km
.. although Paul might have already changed it since then!

So how long will a lap atake an average rider, was taking around an hour at the Scotts for a similar disatance but haven't ridden out at Sparrow. Assuming will be similar as while not having that huge uphill, not having a big dowhill either?
Last year I think anything under an hour (in daylight) was decent. Check the results from last year and you'll get a better idea.
Well it's only a tiny bit further than last year so I reckon it won't be much different - the pro/elite riders will do it in about 45 minutes, Weekend warriors 50-60, the remaining 2/3 of the field in 60-80.
Edit - what gixer7 said, results here: http://www.mont24.com.au/race/?IntCatId=3&IntContId=7687
