From that bridge top if the hill all the way past the river where you walked over the rocks, then past the hits to the dirt road. Not sure if thats it's real name but all the way along that section there is 2-3 sections where there is duel track

OK,thanks, got it.

I see the route has changed a bit later on, we don't make the ascent and traverse the ridge later on, leading to that famed technical descent (loved and loathed by hubbers), but instead hug the main road and then route to the radio telescope valley, perhaps a land access issue? bit of a shame, that was one of the highlights for me.

 

BUt still looking forward to it, and the milder temps in September.

How bad is the traffic close to the venue on race day?

Not as bad as at other races, I suggest to still be there early though

Hi Guys!

 

 

 

Having regard to the updated route and the taking out of the technical decent, what would you guys rate it if you would give the Monster 10/10?

 

 

 

Moreover, my front brake is MIA, are the decents of such a nature that I would be at risk?

 

 

 

Contemplating entering, but want to be sure!

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

 

Cheers
