Apparently the map will be up later in the week for this race.
There will prolly be a bunch of hard-outs making the trip to vegas for this race... should be interesting.
Who else is entered for this?

I was actually in Vegas for the last one - I had just built up the Reign and decided a weekend in vegas was on the cards. At the time 100Ks seemed like quite a massive undertaking.
Funny how perspectives change.

Start goes across bridge, turns right, like "the 75"

Yeah, right you are.
The teams transition part confused me. 
Looks like there is less pushing in this one, and no nasty greasy steps... might be able to give sub 5 hours a nudge if I'm on my game

PBR could be right, just not real obvious with the yellow squiggle next to the HQ box. But probably the best answer if its is starting and finishing at the main carpark area again. Looks like a good long workout, with loads of cool trails.

looks like the same trails as last year just starting in a different place so that would make 6 climbs + the sealed climb
the climbs are
1 - lakefront & tikitapu Rds
2 - lookout Rd
3 - Moerangi Rd
4 - Hill Rd & frontal
5 - Pipeline & direct Rds
6 - lyon Trail & Katore Rd
7 - the seal on Nursery Rd & Radio hutt

 I wonder if I can get a leave pass and do this one (and if I should do it!)

Meh, numbers 1 and 7 are not really climbs IMO.
Just little bits where you ride up a wee bit
