Super_mil Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 If it is not crazy hot, it'll be raining. It is the Midlands after all.Regardless, it should be good fun
Nofearnofun Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Is it not stupidly hot at this time of the year?personally I would rather race at 7/8am and ride the trails blind than die from dehydration. TBH, how many people are going to practice the morning of the race if they have to ride up? Snap! I am going to rely on the stage preview videos I am hoping will be uploaded here sometime before the race. I'd rather get the race over with early, have a chilled lunch break and get a few practice runs of the DH in before sun down. That being said, racing after 12h00 is probably set in stone.
Super_mil Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Word on the street is Nige will do it this weekend and the vids released next week sometime The DH preview will only happen later as there are one or two sections that still need some love.

Hopefully I will be able to sneak out there on the 25th to scope the DH and if time allows do a run or two of the outback trails. Keen to show me down the DH track?

David D Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Just doing some math here...If 2 hours is the time that a ride is expected to ride it all in then at 13:30 the last rider should start stage 1. So I assume riders will start at 30sec intervals, otherwise there will have to be 90min-xmin (time riding to actual start of stage 1) = yminymin / 1min intervals = # riders that will finish by 15:30 (with your timing it is less than 90 riders expected) hehehehe.. That maths is way to complicated for my simple little mind. I expect the fastest rider will be done in just over an hour. The slowest rider will have 3h30 to get around the circuit. There should be enough time in between those to get everybody around the loop. We will use an approximately 30 second starting interval, but self seeding, manners and discretion will be needed when selecting the starting order at each stage.

TBH, how many people are going to practice the morning of the race if they have to ride up? Your personal preferences are noted. We have to allow time for those who wish to, to do a loop of the circuit on the day. Not everybody can get there before the day and not everybody is comfortable riding a trail they have never seen before. Regarding the heat......HTFU
KathF Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Wait, is this a cycling race!? I thought I could do this on my CRF230!

Peach. Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Sounds good, will have to do some low flying to get from pmb to KK in 30mins[emoji28] Ask Greg to fill in for you for 30 min
Spoke101 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Ask Greg to fill in for you for 30 min I got a better chance of winning the enduro than that happening. [emoji12]
Nofearnofun Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I got a better chance of winning the enduro than that happening. [emoji12]You have a better chance of winning the enduro if greg is covering for you at the shop and not at kk...
JPD Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Hey Nigel/Dave, any word on those trails? I'm keen to head out there this weekend.
