[Event] Darling Brew Extreme MTB Challenge

That sucks. Hope its not true.

 

Yep, not cool. But I see entries are still open till Monday evening so still time to make up your mind

[goodluck Phil danger]

Dunno. I'm a bit confused by the email. Why inform people who are already entered about "pre-entries" unless it is implying that it is actually a registration for those that have pre-entered?

 

My thoughts exactly!

[PhilipV]

apparently entries will be capped so get your pre entries in.

i can confirm that the 35km route is sold out.a friend tried to register today, and he ended up registering for the 52km

[leona]

that suggests to me you go there to collect your number as theres no entries on the day

Yip 35km is sold out. Guess I am riding Montagu mountain mania on the 31st. enjoy guys.

Just enter the 52km! See entries close tomorrow evening. Can you enter online and register morning of event? If you have to go to CWC for this or to Darling on the Friday it can be a problem for the guys that go through on sat morning just for the race

[Johny Bravo]

52 also sold out. I entered just in time. Not keen on the 52, looks super tough. Oh well.

I've been tryin to enter. Payment wouldn't go through over and over. Had an email confirming it but not paid so hopefully il be able to still!

This is both good and bad, good that the event is so well supported, bad that I haven't entered yet....Didn't realise there can be limited entries on a small local fun ride....pity

What kind of terrain can we expect? Lots of sand?

 

From previous experience riding in that area... TOP UP YOUR STANS SEALANT.

I get scared just looking at the picture

 

At one point it looked like I had a new brand of tire called "Racing Thorn", with thorns for knobblies.

 

But I'm sure that was because we crossed over a wheat field. The route probably won't have that, but I'm not taking chances.

[Kranky]

Thanks for the heads up. Definitely going with the big knobblies then and topping up the sealant. Hopefully, as the event is sold out, the front runners will clear the way

[leona]

what are those thorns called? i am very familiar with them but not sure of their name. are they the infamous devil thorns or are those the bigger ones?
