Just got home from there! Don't fancy trying to back that up tomorrow morning sorry mate. Tracks are running well, almost totally dry out there again.

Not able to make tomorrow unfortunately, but as @beeb just said just got home from a YY ride and I'm toast.

On my ride home tonight I was cramping up about 3ks from home, and out of water

Great ride, good to see the V3 Waltley in the flesh too

I'd planned to, but my plans were scuppered by beers last night.

Yep. Last time. It’s a great event. 1/2 the climbing of most enduros, but always fun. Definitely going.

Rumour is it will run more like the AM race with shuttles, and unlimited runs with best times....TBC.

Dam, it's the same weekend as the Pineapple Express in Bright!

That it is. Busy time of year.

Looking forward to this one!

@Jpez - haven't been out to the Youies in a long time. Is putting turbs in for the all mountain race limiting the event to people will lower skill levels?

 

[teK--]

Ohhhh Turbs! Shit just got real!

Maybe for certain classes they will exclude that stage from the race.

Yes I've only tried that track twice and walked fair chunks of it. Would hate to try at anything even resembling (my very slow) race pace!

Dunno mate. It’s definitely a jump up in skill level which I don’t mind. I’m glad to see some challenging stuff in it. As one of my mates said it could get frustrating for the people that can ride it well getting caught up behind the people that can’t so I reckon it’ll be non compulsory or seperated into a different category.
Either way the ambos could be busy!

It’s time I bit the bullet and get the big rock drop at the bottom sorted!

Don't break my (future) bike!

Haha!
and this is the easy ‘B’ line drop half way down. I’m yet to attempt the A line rock drop at the bottom. Although this is the impetus I need to give it a crack.
