I thought the rockstar team were at the Epic this weekend...
Yeah we asked in there and they said over and hour wait for food so we went to the pub in greenhill point.Been raining heavy for hours here. Was down at callala beach pizza place.. And it rained heavy for the duration. Not keen any word from the official guys?
Ps pizza place was a joke. almost 2 hours wait!
Doesnt sound too flash, glad I didn't fly up for it. How'd the bikes pull up? I'm assuming Tim didn't take the new hardtail out?Conditions were pretty wet and bikes suffered. Personally I didn't find it fun, ready to pull the pin at 35km but there was a distinct lack of marshaling on course so I was forced to keep riding until I saw another 20km of bike destroying mud before I found someone else riding out and followed him. Still hadn't seen any marshals at that point so you'd have been up sh%t creek if you'd hurt yourself or had an unrideable bike.
Some nice single track but too many creeks/lakes to wade across for my liking, too many bogs too. Wasn't inspired and doubt I'll be back next year
Naah, wasn't that bad (although it was pretty bad). As a scarred vet of some of the worst bike eating races (cap punishment, syd 24) over the last few years, I was determined to just roll back to the car and bail if it was like those races (I live locally). But, for me at least, it wasn't that bad. AKA: brakes survived no worries, no shifting missed, bike nice and functional all the way. Having said that, there was a lot of squishy fire road slogs and some almightily deep pools. Picked a wrong line near the finish and dead set almost lost the bike in there as I dismounted.Conditions were pretty wet and bikes suffered.

Wasn't as bad as the otway but it was sad listening to the grind, and yes Tim did take the hard tail out and now he's grumpy about itDoesnt sound too flash, glad I didn't fly up for it. How'd the bikes pull up? I'm assuming Tim didn't take the new hardtail out?
