Hey Guys,

I'm a bit of a weekend warrior. I mostly do the Big Red Bard 20km in just over an hour. It's pretty flat though. Will I be able to handle the 25km MTB route ok? I haven't done any races as I generally don't like competition events and the idea of many MTB'ers on a single track sounds off putting. But I'd like to do this event for a good cause. Not looking at setting any times.

Cheers

You should be okay, depending on which batch you start in. The seeding process tries to eliminate the need to wait (and walk), so if you want a start group relative to your ability, then you will need to do at least one seeding event.

Did it for the first time last year. There’s not too much flat and there’s a fair bit of non-technical climbing and some epic downhills and it’s a great day out. Take as long as you want!

I'm sure you'll be fine, there can be bottlenecks but thats par for the course.
