Jbr Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Sho, good luck to the riders on that descent after dorsberg, be prepared for a rotor/brake pads change 😅 I wonder why they chose to use the downhill single track instead of the normal fireroad for the climb to the top, but must admit it's more fun Edited March 18, 2023 by Jbr

Similar route we did in 2016. Fair bit of claiming for the distance. DieselnDust 1

The first numbers are obviously last year's podium. Then at some point the men and women are mixed as the numbers tick up .... How does it work by the time you get to 150, or 500 ? What are the ages for the "masters", "grand masters", etc ?

That road though….sucks. Edited March 18, 2023 by MORNE

MORNE Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Will you be tackled riding through the main gates on bicycle? I mean the ones at the road.

That road though….sucks. We did that single track a few weeks ago. Totally redone. Also a couple of logs and 150mm drops .... erosion control .... going to be lady dog climbing those .... Do agree though, the single track winds a lot more, and certainly has much less of an average gradient.

The single track adds length to the course and it’s a nice interesting opener than a boring fire road climb Masters is 40-49 grand masters is 50-59 numbers for uci teams are in order of seeding. This will have the title holders as 1-X rest of podium from previous year 2 -x and 3-x respectively assuming it’s at least one rider carrying over. otherwise it works according to UCI XCM points ranking. Same For the women. and mixed and age groups. when I’m open numbers are in order of entry received. So don’t read to much into the numbers 56 minutes ago, ChrisF said: How do the team numbers work ?
