Convict 100
Hi all, I am a late entry to this event 50km, and as it is a good 2hrs drive from the Northern Beaches, I was wandering if anyone can giveme an idea of what time you have to be there for the 50km version, rego and stuff. If it is too early,may look at accomodation. Many thanks

Pietermaritzburg World Cup XC Course - Video
What a sweet course!
However, it does go to show a few things...
1/. Mnt Annan is basically the perfect place to train for a World Cup (other than a few steeper / techo bits)
2/. A 29er is the only bike to ride and rear suspension is not required
3/. Tread on tyres is irrelevant as its all super super groomed.
I'm sure there will be some response that its not hard enough, and maybe boring - but it has claimed skin so far from the best of Australia in test riding.
How good does it look!!!!??
Convict 100 (50km course)
I am looking to do the 50km course of the Convict 100 and was wandering if any one can give me an idea of how tough it is. I am reasonably fit BUT my MTB skills are very average. I have done quite a few adventure races, (such as Akuna Bay, Gloucester tri, all about 3 to 4 hrs) but not a straight MTB event. Is this too tough for a first time go at these type of races?

UNE 12 hour - Armidale
Who wants to ride some dry tracks? The UNE 12 hour is on in one weeks time up in Armidale. Great tracks that have had no rain and lots of trail fairies hard at work. http://www.nemtb.com.au/news/theresstilltimetoge...
Ps - 'a day on the green' is on at the same time for any better halves that would prefer music in the vines instead.

Fundraising in Convict 100, 2012
Hey guys (and gals?) I'm competing in Convict 100 this year (Dirtworks) for the first time. But then again, I'm only 18, so really it has to be my first time!
Anyway, this year, I'm doing it in attempt to raise money for the Salvation Army, and hoping to raise $5 per kilometre I ride. As it's actually 104km, my goal is to raise $520 this year.
