I registered for the 50km, never done it before, ride a couple of months ago. Do we need to bring anything on raceday? Or will we get registered earlier and get given numbers forms etc? I currently have received nothing so i'm guessing we are prepped on registration.

The day before race you can pre register at Penny's in town otherwise early on the day onsite before the race

Ok and that's where we get all the numbers, forms etc. Not supposed to have anything at the moment?

psychavoc · *by **psychavoc** on Sat 8/Dec/07 8:57pm*

Nope, pick up registration packs before (or early on!) the day

Looking forward to getting a new Karapoti drink bottle! I dropped mine on my commute to work last week and found it in the gutter a couple of days later looking slightly worse for wear and a bit squashed

On. And I suppose I'm looking forward to my first Karapoti aswell

I registered abiout 2 months ago

Can't wait - it's riding fast now, hopefully it will be in the same condition in march.

I had my registration last year yanked because my STUP!D brother decided to get married on race day... So this year, no excuses!!! Anyone training for a sub 3hr??? Or going out to Karapoti on a regular basis for training rides?

Decisions, decisions what catagory to ride. Senior, pro or ss?

SS - you're more likely to break a record

Oooh yeah!.. I havent managed a sub 3 yet, but im hopefull for 2008, Went round a couple of weeks ago and did a handy time, and race day gives you 10% more I reckon as well.
