I'm in, team of 2 masters should be fun and close to home too
rain on it & drying out slowly it should be good for a interesting weekend , come say hi if I haven't met you before or I might see you on the track somewhere ?
Team of three.
Take it easy on them, out on the track. As passing can be difficult in some sections of this track.
I am riding with Craig, and we are the wrong side of 40 so take it easy on us!
don't remind me, this time next year I'll be riding super masters!
anyone Know what time the gates will open on sat morning?
open at 7am for those attending the race , if you are not sure where to go I might post myself just past the Mt Annan Garden shops as you head up the hill, I say there will be a line up at the gates b4 i get there in the morning . So if anybody doesn't know where to go as you enter the park go past the shop that is on your left & continue straight ahead ,do not turn left after the carpark near the shops & toilet area because you will be heading back out of the Gardens . Or any Nobmobbers ahead of me lead the pack too where they must be .
I've never been there, so I'd be keen to see a map or something.
Keen to see how my knee holds out.
there are maps on Mount annan web site also on rocky trail web site , links at top of this page
woop woop the track is in fine form , rode it today & there are going too be some fast times
i heard its fairly smooth but technical?
should i take the hardtail? (is there loads of switchbacks with lots of braking and accelerating?) or,
take the full suspension ( more rocky techy descents and climbs?)
There are a few tight switch backs some log rollovers a bit of firetrail , Gazza this course is not Technical for me so it should be easy for you , you are always on the pedal is the best way too describe the track . Take both if you aren't sure or how much pain can your back take
Thanks for that. It'd probably help if I read the top post properly.... Lol
pull up today Muvro , it was a tough track as eyeryone says , the only thing they took out today was the bit up the top where you were deep in the trees & the little bit of fire road heading north . Hope everybody had fun ..
How good is Gordo?
He did 11 laps, flatted on one while his other 10 filled the places for top 10 lap times. What's more impressive is the times were all grouped within 21 sec.
Bloody legend ,so calm and polite when passing too
