There's a new event at the REV in 2008 - Urban 4X!
Full details and a link to enter are here: http://therev120.co.nz/default.asp?PageID=11818
| the REV wrote: | | New for 2008 is the REV Ghost urban 4X – an urban style 4X through the University of Waikato campus. This event will be a real 4X racing adventure – urban style. The course will take on serious flights of stairs, hard out jumps, go through (inside) buildings and over other on course obstacles. It will be tight, tactical and mean. |
I'm pretty sure some of you Vorbers would be keen on this format. This is where Hamilton's Wednesday night rides used to end up - hucking stairs at the University. Good times. 
UPDATE: Course map now available for download. [CLICK HERE] to download map.

Ah, looking closer its 3 run minimum. Sweet. I'm fine with stairs - just not at speed on the hardtail.

What a softie. If I still had my old hardtail (and wasn't carrying precious cargo) then I'd be there too. In fact I will still be there, but with a camera stuck to my face... instead of a set of stairs.
What 4X bike are you getting Llama? Something squishy I take it??
Datsane, I expect to see you racing on the Cowan - fixed or not!
