U can get a lift with me if u want.

[VolkAdik]

Crankmeister to the rescue, thanks buddy...

[BlinkFan]

Can we just come enter the morning of the race?

 

So consensus is:

65km will be very tough.

35km will be tough

15km will be manageable.

 

I'm not in the mood for a sufferfest so will go for 35km and give it horns.

[VolkAdik]

I will be doing the 35Km too, it will test you do, not underestimate it, just for a shorter distance. So excited

99% chance of rain in Wellington on Friday. 30mm forecast according to Accuweather. Less on Saturday, but the trails are going to be soaking folks.

 

Looking forward to it!!!

Enter & register on the morning.

you could always hitch a lift with me but I might get stuck drinking on a friend's farm in wellington afterwards and then you'd have to cycle back to CT

Sounds rad

[VolkAdik]

Thanks for the offer, cycle back to Northerns wont be too bad, but maybe next time

Rode it a month ago, singletrack is badly rutted, some sections were simply not at all nice to ride. with the wet, its going to be nasty!

How do the start batches work?

How do the start batches work?

Go wearing tekkies. Preferably the kind you run or go to gym with. Then push your way all the way to the front. Then when the race starts make sure you are pushing your bicycle by at least the 2nd corner and keep everyone else waiting.

 

But seriously, I hope they have some seeding system, otherwise on that particular route it will become very dangerous.

With the rain predicted over the next day or two, how well does this area drain / handle water? Will it turn into a mudfest?

Its going to be wet, very very wet. I am taking my cheapest bike and oldest cycling kit.
