the 100k needs a refresh, make it a true epic 160k like dirty kanza, or leadville- then the finish would roll back into Apollo Bay.
starting at AB is a pain, but adds some epicness that you can't get starting at forrest. its funny how organisers think people always want to ride the same loops, same format - the hampster effect. yet that takes away the adventure aspect.
forrest single track is brilliant, so are the climbs up to mt sabine, noonday etc. from ab such tough riding.
I couldn't do it this year due to family commitments, and a bit pissed that they have ebikes racing wtf, but that's another story.
