The Alpine Assault is Australia’s ultimate 100km Mountain Bike race. The race starts at Falls Creek and finishes 100km’s later in Mt Beauty after travelling through the spectacular Alpine National Park. The course has been designed to take in some of the most spectacular Alpine scenery in Australia whilst delivering one of the most challenging single day rides in the country. The course is a combination of fire access roads, double track and of course the iconic singletrack of Mount Beauty.

Not sure if I've set this up right and don't Know how to add links, also no. of riders may be a bit on the high side

I've decided to take Gazzas advice from last year and use these club rds. as training for a few of the 100kers I plan on doing this year.

8.00am for sign on 9.30 race time.

Couple of points first:

a) The meeting status wouldn't let me enter exactly what I wanted, so the real meeting status is: "If it's raining hard (more than a sprinkle) and predicted to be above 30 degrees in the mountains, I won't be there."

b) The pace will be "brisk social" - This will mean a couple of stops will happen at the creeks and the helipad, though besides that I want us to be able to move along at a fairly rapid pace, so it'd be preferable to ride with people with a higher degree of fitness.

Thanks, Discodan for the warning - much of the track will be closed tomorrow due to a reduction burn so doesn't look as though this ride is really fesable

Doesn't stop me from wanting to go there another time, though...
