what a load of emo bullshit

no one knows where the tracks are untill the week before. if you ask nicely people will help if you demand people will tell you where to go.

from the bottom off kerr street which is the road that goes up mt vic just before the raise behind the kindergarten there is a clearing heading in the direction of lake road follow that and the path splits a up a rise ( which is tightish singletrack with crap grip) which goes to the top or the lower path which comes out behind the tennis courts most way up ....
there is a little track from the top round the buker that meets the road
i mostly go up on the road untill i can see in the mornings ( about 20 to 7 lately) then use the single track for some traction workouts!

me emo hell no

so what you saying demand
but id prefer to ask

you spelt whose wrong I think its whose not whoose

cheers for that man...ill be going out there to have a look

that is for the tracks in devonport
as for the sprints just turn up and do the cruisers
it is a good way to learn the tracks by going out there

guaranteed SPCA ( it was there the last 2 times i did the sprints)
maybe something round by big mumma , something north
and maybe the new powerball track aswell ( or whatever that track is called going to the car park?)

there needs to be some sort of significant advantage for XCers
and some sort of discernable advantage for big hucks?
i have been trying to think of a way to distribute bonuses like incorporate an uphill at each track because there really is no reason to turn up on a XC bike as oppossed to the huck monster!

anybody have any ideas...

*uphill segments for all ( extend track time to 5-8 minute bursts)
with 10 second bonuses for each bonuses

*maybe some sort of speed trap measured between two points for some sort of speed bonus?

* 5 seconds off ( your gate time) for passing someone
bonus ( or maybe extend the time you go after the person before you by 20 seconds)

* bonus for closing within __ seconds of the person infront of you
* if the person behind you catches you you swap positions for the next run


* weight disadvantages

any other ideas?
