By now I assume you have your costume sizing and fitting sorted.

Registration is at the Sprig and Fern Hardy St (280 Hardy St) Friday night from 5 to 8pm.  While you are at registration, why not start sampling the fine beer.  There are about 15 to try out and it will give you a good idea of what you’re in for on Saturday.  If you can’t make Friday night registration, you can pick up your race pack from 8:30am at the event village at Codgers MTB Park on Brook St.

Less than one week to D-day.  While entries have officially closed, we are still taking a few more entries to cater for the disorganised people amongst us.  Please have your late entries in by Wednesday night, as we have to give final numbers to Devilles for dinner and have all the recycled race numbers ready.

We are going for a 3 lap race format with an expected winning time two hours....... give or take an hour.  It really depends how fast you all decide to ride. But you should probably take food.  

We will also have a lap out rule so no one has to suffer unduly and we can all spend more time relieving the Sprig and Fern of beers. If you get lapped just complete that lap and pull out, you will still get a finish time and placing.
