Course GPX has been released

I chucked it up onto my Garmin thingy here:

EDIT: Just had a chance to look at the profile. Those hills aren't looking too bad? And there's what looks like a 2km downhill section too. Niiiice

EDIT 2: The course above has been changed. The new course looks waaay twistier

Did anyone notice the newsletter sent re the Mont. They are checking helmets or do they say that every year?

Helmets

Submitted by philberesford on Fri, 18/03/2011 - 18:01.

I saw that too...

Yeah! Good Luck!

Submitted by GAZZA on Fri, 18/03/2011 - 18:27.

What A croc os s''t!
Had that done at a roadrace once and nearly got turned away because my Giro helmet was purchased in the U.S. and didn't have an Aussie standards stamp in it even though it was a clone of the ones that are stamped for Australia!
I'm sure a lot of folks are gonna be lining up arguing just because they have an overseas helmet!
TIP.... take the standards sticker out of a cheaper helmet, the foil will come off when you do this and it will become clear. with back of sticker in hand,glue tin foil to 'clear' aussie standards sticker. leave to dry the turn over and stick back yo the helmet!
Happy Days!!!!

Hey Gazza thanks for that ..

I think Mr Delicious might, unusually, have a word to say about that http://nobmob.com/node/20375

USA helmet

Submitted by unclebullbar on Tue, 22/03/2011 - 16:48.

I too have a helmet (Fox Flux) purchased in the USA. On the front cover of the owners manual, it has an Australian Standards badge, so I will take that down, but I'm still concerned. I e-mailed the Mont Team last week, but haven't had a reply yet.

I just received some correspondence from The Mont crew about team rego and they made mention to helmets again:

You can register your whole team, but in order to do this you need signed waivers for all of them

Download waivers (and team waivers) from the website

Note: Helmets still have to be checked before your guys can ride - at REGO or TRANSITION

Nobmob camping?

Submitted by philberesford on Fri, 01/04/2011 - 13:50.

When is everyone heading down and should we try and make an unofficial nob camping area?

I'm planning on heading down mid friday morning

Camp area in case you haven't seen looks like this:

Anything can happen but that looks pretty damn good for all three days! Still, you can never have too many tarps on hand just in case.

Well done team!

Your strategy paid dividends

Last lap?

Submitted by pancakes on Tue, 12/04/2011 - 11:35.

Looking at the lap times I'm wondering what happened on the last lap. Many of the final laps were blown out by 10 or so minutes. Was it the rain or volume of traffic for the last lap push?

I should have extracted the digit and done the Mont this year...hopefully next year.
