I'll be there, no matter what the weather.
Ride Database Entry:
Dargle Farm Meeting Point:
River Road, Cumberland Reach. From Sackville Ferry Road, heading North about 3.1km then turn right.
-33.454789,150.908289 (Dargle Farm)
Details:
The one and only 12 hour race in Sydney. Listen to what the riders have to say about last year's event and don't miss it in 2011!
My personal highlight was the Red Bull DJ truck paired with a 10m bonfire in the middle of the event centre where kids danced and riders warmed up between laps.
All this coupled with a gem of a track with the best descent into an event centre!
Who's in?
Steve 01, Andy Bloot, chica, trailburner, Bikeboy, jaseh, CROMERBOY, muvro, doc, Scottboy, twotommos, craked, ps (13 riders)

team of 4 masters ,should be a lot of fun ,anyone know the lap distance ?
it's a 9 km course by memory & a awesome track too , look out for a working bee might happen out there b4 the event, too get the track ready again then you can ride too find out where the good bits are .
The track fairies were out at Dargle Farm today (Sunday 31 July) cleaning up the track and creating a few new interesting areas (Lynch Pinch, etc). A lap is around 10km and includes loads of wonderfull single track and a few fast valley traverses - and the usual DH into the finish area.
See you there on the 13th!
Anyone going to brave the cold and camp on saturday night? A few ales by the camp fire ,swap some exagerated stories of the days event, awesome!
Get your last minute entries sorted for this weekend's racing! Great lineup of prizes from JetBlack, Bernard Beer and Shimano, Red Bull will rock Dargle again, track is in great shape and we look forward to an epic 12 hour and MTB GP! Winners will receive a Bernard/Rocky Trail Champion beer mug.
Registration is open until Wednesday 9pm.
Hey Martin, is there going to be any catering there?
I am thinking steak and beers after the last lap - as you can tell I am a highly tuned athlete!
This just in: every 12 hour rider will receive a free entry to the Banzai LifeCycle Time Trial at Stromlo in September worth $60.
There will be catering from The Daily Espressos and as you know we are sponsored by Bernard beer! So food and drinks is well taken care off.
I will be sleeping in the back of the ute with a 3mx3m gazebo with sides on it rugged up of course & a few bourbons after presentation
I'll be there Friday and saturday night. Solo for me!!
Last year the saturday night around the bonfire was great. Lots of drinking to be done!!!
come say hi & introduce yourselves b4 the race i will be one of the Rockytrail crew or a track marshall/sweep wearing a orange vest & directing parking in the morning when I get there early on Saturday .. brrr
don't let the rain put u off ppl there hasn't been much rain out west of Parramatta today , I think it should be ok out there tomorrow . I will be leaving home around 6.00am
would be good if you can keep it like that until about 1.00pm Sunday, 'coz I'm a bit sick of mud after the Husky last weekend

sun was shining and the track was good ,a few slushy bits (well more than a few)but it was an excellent event with some exciting tussels at the pointy end .
i rode around in a very casual 4 man team, so tried to make the most of my own laps.
ended up doing 6 laps. 4 day laps and 2 night laps.
Was a fun event, good vibe, riders courteous and friendly out on track and did not have any issues with passing or being passed, actually most riders jumped out of the way when i got on there wheel before i even called track. was awesome. Good day out in the sun and a suprisingly fun track.
I tried to go under 30 mins but just couldnt get there, got down to 30.29 being my fasted lap, i think the elites are safe for quite some time yet
the quickest lap
Great day. Did 8 laps solo and pulled up stumps at about 4pm. Nothing left in the tank for night laps. Track was in good condition, got a bit sucky towards the last couple of laps but that was probably more to do with my lack of energy.
the track was in the same condition today , it really got a hammering over the weekend , too all that rode & asked if the marshall was ok thanks . All is good as there are a few with manners & the other riders were in race mode & powered on not really aknowledging you are there , bonfire was there for the night stayers beer was handed out after a rider was finished what more could you ask for in a race after 12hrs ..
I couldn't quite interpret your post, but are you saying the guy who was stretchered out was a marshall??
No one in our team got under 30 minutes either. I think the quickest we got was a craked's 30:20 and a few other 30 minute laps that were just behind yours. Well done.
the guy that got stretched out was definitely not a Marshall, the rider is a nobmobber he was riding for a bike store & doing well till a tree jumped out in front of him ..he hasn't been on this site for a while
Craig Certainly knows how to set the pace on the single track. He is a hard man to beat / catch. How did you fellas go, you must have been close to the pointy end of the field with your team doing 30 min laps.

Only on the downhill bits,we finished 6th in mens 4's on 23 laps pretty happy with that, unfortunately there were not enough over 40 teams so we had to run in open .
Are the results for this online yet?
yes Brian
Hey Craig, where are the results - I can only see 2010 results?
BTW I checked my times down the hill best I got was 48km/hr so you got me there as well!
Do you have a link as the one below is for previous years?

I just clicked your link and it took me to 2011 results?
I had to Control-R to get them to show.
Cheers

4 Blind Mice rock!
But I am biased.
