Mont?

hmmm, which one to go to, cant do both, wife will kill me
decisions, decisions????

for those that dont know there is 2 x 24 hr events in Canberra in the same month, one sponsored by Scott and one by Mont

sounds like an adventure .

So far I thought riding the same track for 24hrs is stupid and riding in the dark doesn't make sense if you can ride while the sun is shining BUT I shouldn't really judge something I haven't done!
So in case you will get "really" interested and if you are not planning an all male team of roid boys give me a shout

(nice flyer???)

yes, i have done a few 24hr races, usually a team of 4 or 6. We have fun, muck around and generally dont really care what position we are in, we usually stop riding from 1am till about 5 or 6am. The atmosphere is generally pretty good with alot of chatter amongst teams at the campsite and usually out on the track too. It is a great few days away. Night riding is fun and generally not much slower than day riding with a good set of HID lights (ie last yr at the scott 24hr my night laps were only 3 or 4mins slower than my day laps over a 20km lap). Get in a group of 6 and enter, you wont regret it.

P.S. entry for this yrs canberra 24hr events open around june 1, so have a team ready by this date and enter early, they usually sell out in a few days

I would be interested in doing one of these events. If anyone wants to form a team let me know, would only be interested doing it as a fun, social thing.

Now all I need to do is organise some lights! Does anyone on this site know anything about good lighting???? just kidding, dont want to start a whole new light debate.

the mont 24hr is a new event type this yr, teams of 4 or 6 only. The scott 24hr which is on the 13th and 14th october at stromlo is your traditional 24hr with solo riders, pairs, threes, etc.

Thanks Buck,

Think I might keep saving for a set of brighter lights. I did notice that they are not recommended for off road use. Look like they would be a bargain for road use though.

Thanks Paul,

Would like to have a look at these, is there any chance of bringing them to the next ride so I can have a look. Does the handle bar mount fit over sized bars?

If they are as good as they look I might have to get some. They appear to give you alot for your money.

There site says that they are sold out, so will contact them to see when new stock is arriving.

Cheers
Bruce

I'll be bringing my sets of these to the DW100 this weekend if you want to have a look at them.
i'll most probably be wearing a black hoodie with rotarua 06 written on it,
come find me if im not eating i'll be at the pub.
or look for an old blue EK holden.
I like them,
you cant see much from them during the twilight hours
but in the pitch black they work fine,
they dont seem to throw out/as far as some other lights.
i used a set on my helmet at the aus 24hr championships with only on on my head
after the HId i was using died somehow.
i pulled out of the race after a big crash, then lent the lights to a mate whos batteries didnt charge
and he loved them,
again he only used the light on my helmet.
he managed to ride all the rest of the night with them with no problems.

hope that helps somewhat.
