What sort of people are you after ?

I'm kind-of interested, but

(a) never raced before, and
(b) don't own a mountain bike

Assuming I can negotiate my way around (b), what skill
level are you looking for? - My usual riding is a gentle
tourng pace occasionally shouting at the kids to stop
fighting in the bloody trailer.

How many vistalight night-sticks do you need for 24 hours ?!

How many laps do you reckon I'd make on one of those $99
bikes from Big-w ?🙂

Actually, more seriously, what sort of mountain biking
skills are required for this sort of thing? I ride dirt
roads occasionally, but that's VF-far from technical
mountain biking skills.

I'm thinking of doing it solo. Am I insane?

My hand is raised.
I'm not fast.
With no team myself, I was considering a solo effort.
I'm a Canberra resident, 40 something, regular rider with good fitness and
skills - but more inclined to survival than racing.

I don't know - how many people give you weird looks on a daily basis?

If it's muddy we found out who can really ride and who are the pseudo racers
who train on road bikes.......

There's nearly a kilometre of ~ 10% grade
that's followed by some 400(?) metres of 20% singletrack
back downhill.

Should I be scared or excited?!

The last time I encountered a 20% grade, it took both
of us to push the (touring loaded + trailer) bike to
the top of it.

Hmmm... what if it's muddy 😉

I'm available for a team of 2-4 people. Last year came 16th in the 4 man
division, 6th a couple weeks ago in the 12hr with 2others. Give me a
call if you're still looking.
