budgeting for enduro racing NSW

[ebuk]

The DW100 thread got me thinking about how much I may be spending on races this year.

Does anyone remember what the cost of solo entry was for the 8 hour series and the 12 hour at WSMTB? (for the 2005 events)

Am planning (wanting to do) on doing this year:

1 club race a month, ($10 a race)
5 working week series races, ($??? for Solo)
WSTMB 12 hour, ($??? for solo)
12 hours of darkness (if I can find a partner for it)
Sydney 24hour (if I can find a partner for it)

Thanks

Buy a race liscence if you dont already have one .
from memory
WWS $50
12 hr $65
Sydney 24hr $90

I could be slightly out
but check their sites for fees etc.

Don't forget ~$16 per race / 6 pack of beer ;). You might be able to get away with out this for now untill you get your SS built up.

Buy a race liscence if you dont already have one .Yeah, I'm pretty sure the MTBA licence paid for itself this year just by avoiding the day licences from the 5 WWS races, let alone all the other races I did.

[The Lab-Gear]12 hours of darkness (if I can find a partner for it)
Thanks

$51.50! That's it :D (unless you need a day lic.).

And there will be solo riders this year :p

I'm feeling like a real Elitist Hard Core Wanker with the amount I've "saved" in day licenses. It also gets you out more, because $10 for a club round is a lot easier to drop than $25 for round + license.

Lets see. 4 or 5 dirt crits, Sydney 24, 12 hour, 5 x WWS, Nearly a Mont, 4 hour. And a couple more dirt crits before it expires. Woohoo!

Next you'll be turning up to the dirt crits with a sensible bike.

Yup this was the first thing I did.

Any news on the Working Week Series for 2006 ?
I'm trying to organise some fun early on. If I have some reason to train, perhaps I will. Perhaps.

I still haven't heard anything back after emailing Stu. Waiting ain't fun.

[climberman]

Seems to be a familiar story ebuk.

Tick tock, tick tock...

[grumpy rooster]

Sort of the same topic.

If you were only going to do 3 enduro events as a team in NSW (or Canberra)which ones would be the best for a 1st timer from a fun viewpoint.

Was thinking the Mont would be a definite but not sure about the others.

Sydney 24hr, 12hr and the Lithgow 8hr (not that I'm biased)

WWS info out real soon. Season starts very soon

[alchemist]

The Mont is certainly the biggest, but probably not the most fun. The 20km lap can be a bit long for some people.

If I was only going to do 3 I'd probably pick

Sydney 24 hr (to tick that 24hr race off, not a big deal to get to from Sydney, vert friendly event)
Killingworth 8hr
Penrose 8hr

A Sparrow Hill 8 hour would also rate highly

Woo Hoo !!!

Now to spend Xmas / New Year riding and working on my endurance.

[climberman]

Thanks Cat. By real soon do you mean January ? Please don't be on the 28th, Please don't be on the 28th, Please don't be on the 28th, Please don't be on the 28th,..... a mate has a wedding.

I look forward to the news.
