(Warning XC content ) :wink:
Is anyone interested in joining a team for the upcoming 24hr race.? I'm trying to get an 8 - 10 person team together. The aim is to enjoy the event & not take it too seriously.

Details At - http://www.fullgaspromotions.com.au/24hour.html

Cheers

Transport is the easy part.
What are your bike options now? Sml Stinky? Hmmm, fast on the decents.

Pencil me in... needs to be 6 or more people though.


And I bags the sunrise lap! :P

:wink:


Just thought I'd add... I rode the last enduro that Full Gas ran and it was awesome. Everything ran smooth as silk and the course was awesome! Although you got to the end of a lap hating the course builders. :lol: Who puts big hill climbs in the last 2 k's of an enduro course, I mean really?

lol...

by my count we've got 3 now (pending me getting a bike and a lift.)

I bags the least laps....
btw, what's the go with lights, are they available to hire or do we need to fork out?

Better to fork out Simo... A good VistaLite set will set you back around $300 (maybe less) in Australia. I bought mine online from Supergo in the US and it cost me about $100 inc postage etc.

And spare batteries are a must.

*note to self - get spare battery*


Note to Simo - transport can always be arranged.

Nikon or Velophile, have you got any mates that'd join in? 3 people = 8 hours each and that's a tad much for me.
one of my mates would come along but he's busy with thredbo and his going away either side of thredbo :(

Crap!

Pencil me out.

I've got a friends engagement party on the 6th and Carl Cox is playing that night aswell.

No way can I miss either of them. :( Sorry guys.

If I could get transport I would be in it. A team of 8 would be easier than the 2 man team I did the mont with.

I've got 3 people lined up & working on others. I can transport 5 with bikes, if we dont each take 50kg & 20 cubic metres of luggage. :wink:
I won't be doing it with less than 6 starters. I'd rather be there with 10 people & argue about who isn't riding more laps than have to drag myself around for hours 'cause someone fell asleep on their last lap. :)
I've got lights & there is a charging station (power point) on site.

well i'm in then, provided i get transport. I'm still working on getting a bike, anyone got any help?
Would I be able to scab a lift velophile, i'm in hampton but can get a train or possibly a lift to any area between me and where u wanna meet.

When you say you've got light's you don't mean you have a spare set do ya? (i doubt it but it's worth a try)

Fuck! I wish I saw this earlier!...Then I would say penicl me in buttt....

If you guys need another rider (e.g. got 5)...plz add me, and contact me ;)

I ran the Gravity 12hour as part of a pair, 6hours in the saddle is easy, aslong as it's not 6 striaght! I heard the course is a right cunt, but I'm up for anything :P

Im in confirmed....Simo, try a shop, you may be able to hire a bike for the weekend for like 50, or 1000bux something like that, just dont tell them your racing it :P :wink: I'm pretty sure Bonsari Cycles hires bikes, PM Lord Nikon, thats his "shop" I think :P

Im still working on helmet light and a better battery system. :wink: But I'm in.

Borsari Cycles is the shop CB is talking about... They're not "my" shop, it's just close to work. :wink: But they do hire bikes for reasonable rates.
