[Event] Carnival City Macsteel National Classic

[Frosty]

:blush:  WHAT! I will be battling the 3:30 mark.

I'm predicting a 2:26 winning time... let's see how close they come.

 

Then a 2:14 winning time for 947 - so people have a benchmark for the two events.

Can you ride in a bunch? Yes, hide from the wind...

 

160 marshals are spread throughout the route at every intersection on the route.

Wow...160 marshals.

I would love to be there but in Mozambique till 9th Nov

With all those robots in the first few km you going to need a lot of marshals there.

 

I think the 1st half is going to be really fast.

The bumps are mainly in the 2nd half of the route.

 

A bit more climbing on this route though.

And there are goodies bags... but not at number collection.

So where will we find these, you know that is how "we" will be rating you.

At the finish line, along with a medal and drink.

On Dad!!!   Wheelchair in March and crutches for another two months and then extensive physio and acupuncture after I badly ripped my Right Leg Abductor muscle in a massive wipe-out and a bus stopping inches away from my face, and that at 4am on a Wednesday morning. Very grateful to be alive and given another chance. Feeling strong enough for the 110km. Bring it on.

Last year it was freezing and windy. Hopefully the weather will be a bit better this year.

I have a bunch of old kit I'll bring along to registration. Been looking for somewhere to donate it to for a while now.

I can’t open the link on my phone, but cold and windy would imply that it’s the MTB route you’re referring to?

 

99% the same route as last year, with one or two small changes along the route.
