Phil
Do you have any information on the entry details for this ?
Wayne
Hey Wayne
Yeah check the Wannaride link at the top
PB
But will sort my entry a little nearer the time.
did it last year and survived, might try it again hope the weather is a bit kinder ,maybe go a three man team this time
Even hotter than the Dr. It was 45 degrees in the timing tent. The humidity on track was insane. I swear I got heat stroke. I was throwing up as I stopped to repair a flat I picked up after the Big Dipper on my last lap.
I'd be keen to do a 3 man team if anyone is interested.
John, if your starting a team I'm keen
just need to find 1 more.Harry maybe?
John
I would be interested but i am already signed up in a 2 man team
Wayne
Sounds more like heat exhaustion. From memory heat stroke is when the core body temp is above 41 degrees and it is a medical emergency. One is more than likely to get brain damage or organ damage. I think by this stage you actually stop sweating due to dehydration.
Heat exhaustion sounds more like what you had phil. This can lead to heat stroke though of course.
That said...yes it was bloody hot last year! Most painful 4 laps of Ourimbah ever
John I would be keen to be part of your 3 man team ,
beat me to it and faster than I am anyway - living so close now may still come down for a look, by then back should be sweet. I think we're all signed up for weekend in Taree and can discuss around the camp fire (I'm sure one of those steel self contained things would be allowed).
Just registered a team of 3 with bluray, craked and me
but buddy kiwiphil has just advised he's a non-starter.
Any idea what a mid-field lap time is for this circuit?
off the bike for so long Hawkeye I might help you out & the finger is only bending one quarter the way down atm
Have never ridden Awaba so have no idea.
Anyone?
Here you go

anyone heading up on saturday? I'm hoping to get up there about 4pm and set up my quick shade than do a slow sighting lap, get rego done then go get a feed , where would be the closest place to eat? any ideas would be good. thinking club or pub.
Craig
Dora Creek & a fish'n'chip shop there too!
so having a bit of race withdrawal. Not to mention being bored with fire trails after a few rides in NZ.
Don't suppose anyone has a spare spot on a team for this event? Not fast, but ready and able to crank out my share of laps on a track I'd love to get up and have a ride on.
My new derailleur has arrived, will fit it tonight so I'm all good to go.
The new carpark was cut in last night at great expense to the club. Hope you all enjoy it, but parking should not be an issue at all at awaba for a long time to come.
It still doesn't have log dividers like the upper carpark (they are coming) so be sensible when parking.
This weather has dried out the last of the bogs we couldn't repair last week, so the trail should be sweet.
thats good news Brian ,see you there!
Craig
I will be up there on Sat arvo to do a lap or two. Will probably be there a little earlier say between 2 - 3.
I will keep a lookout for your car and txt you when I get there.
Looking fwd to Sunday.
Wayne
Hey Wayne
I thought you and Matt were going up on Sunday morning? We're still a little undecided but will probably end up there Sat arvo too. Will let you know.
PB
I'll be there Saturday arvo for registration and a lap if time.
Waynes heading up Saturday
I can't leave to Sunday
Due to illness i have to sit this one out. Even drinking a lucozade makes me feel sick.
What a great day! I was happy with my 4 laps (2 man team) and then I had a tumble. My coordination just began to disappear.
But to see English complete 17 laps???? Highlight of the day. Absolutely crazy. A few top guys passed me, and I would try to keep up. Trying to learn about cornering etc. I was obviously doing everything wrong.
Great day though! How's everyone else?
Had a fantastic day yesterday. The track was amazingly good fun and in great shape. A little rain might have helped on some of the drier looser corners, but that all added to the fun. It's now my favourite trail. The club have done a tremendous job. Thanks to Chris and the Wannaride crew for another cracking event!
Does anyone know where results will be posted? as web site seems to be two years behind. Had a blast yesterday got to love that fast flowing single track all good till cramp and general lack of fitness kicked in late in the day,all the dust and heat just made the beers taste even better cheers
They might go on this thread as this is where updates were being posted.
