What track do you race on? Is it Kaitoke? I see that you are going to be at the endurance race there. So am I - can't wait. I broke my wrist a few weeks ago so it will be my first race back.

I am guessing that as long as the 30 meter mark is after the start line, it should work OK, so perhaps try taking the first mark 20 meters before the start and the second 10 meters after the start and see if that works.

Thanks I'll try that.
Yep at Kaitoke. The corner in question is not a particularly hard one, it's a nice fast one and you can pretty much set yourself up for it at about the finish line, the corner straight after it (the fast left as you head up the hill) is a little harder though and I need to do a gear change and set myself up for it pretty much straight after the right hander, so would be good to not be looking at my "dash" at that point.
Yeah, I'm very much looking forward to the enduro and I know my bucket sister who is partnering with me will be keen to test out the lap timer (hopefully my battery lasts that long, not to mention the bike!). Are you riding with someone or doing it on your own? Two hours with a broken wrist could be a bit painful!!

Hi Trudes
I'm planning to do it alone - I am hoping my wrist is better by then. I think I had better get some time in on the push bike before then. How many usually turn up for the race? And do we need to register, or just turn up on the day? - two of us coming up from Christchurch.
By the way - where is the grid? I'm looking at Google maps - is it on the short straight where the buildings are?
Cheers
Chris

It's hard to tell how many will turn up, if it's fine possibly 20 to 30 if it's wet a few less I would think. No need to register, just turn up, I think sign in and scruitneering will be between 8:30 and 9am. Just make sure all your touch down points are well nyloned and everything is lockwired and you should be right, backprotectors etc are mandatory. The start grid for clockwise direction (which is what we're running that day) is on the little straight by the buildings heading up the hill, there's "control towers" on either side of the start finish line there. Look forward to meeting you!

Thanks for that Trudes.
I had better get busy with the nylon - we don't need it for Ruapuna or Levels tracks. Looking forward to meeting you as well!
Cheers
