Mt Stromlo
My First 24 hour event
Slowly getting the race notches in my belt. Apart from a casual spin at the yellowmundee grand prix, this was not only my first 24 hour event, but also my first experience at a lap style team race. I have to say its a completely different style of riding/racing and its one I'm not so familiar with. I'm used to the endurance races where you lock into a sustainable rythm and just spin to your hearts content. This however I found much much harder than any other event I've done before. With the lap mentality you really do not allow yourself to let up at any point.
WWS 2008 Round 6 - Stromlo
The final 8 Hour for the BMC Working Week Series for 2008 is at Stromlo, and it is indeed a part of the Nissan UCI World Cup Festival - in fact, it's the very first event of the Festival (one week beforehand)!
It's a bit of a hike, but NobMoB has had some good results in the previous rounds, and the 8 hr format is really good fun.
I'm planning on heading down Sat arvo with Groover, camping overnight.
This will be good preparation for the Scott 24, getting to know the track, logistics, camping etc.
