Scott 24 Hour Race - Entries Open
Postby Bucket Master » Wed Jul 23, 2008 7:32 pm
The Scott 24hr MTB Race, which has been described as “the Woodstock of mountain bikingâ€, is a festival style 24hr mountain biking event which caterers to riders ranging from beginner to elite. The Scott 24hr brings people together to really enjoy a weekend of mountain biking with mates.
Over the years the location and name of the race has changed, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is that this is the original and the best 24Hr mountain bike race in Australia – and now it’s the biggest in the world - again!
Don’t miss this great opportunity to ride Mount Stromlo - the venue for the 2008 UCI Nissan Mountain Bike World Cup August 30/31 and the 2009 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships. All of these race are brought to you by Canberra Off-Road Cyclists (CORC)

It's sort of come from nowhere - only two months to go and I haven't been doing much offroad riding recently.
ps. if I ride, I might go retro - an 80's steel hardtail - if I can handle the lack of braking. Sadly, the frame doesn't have disk mounts.

That seems to be the way with these events for me - a love hate relationship (364 days of love, 1 day of hate)

Was wondering how you could make 9km of climing fun? I guess the 4km ride down made it worthwhile!
And the blue was so much fun - theWestern wedge tail doubles were my favorite
Great fun, good vibe, looking forward to next year already!

Despite climbing to the top of the hill the blue ended up with more climbing per lap.
