I was charged $10 as a handler. I don't think Katrina paid for Charlotte or herself to watch. I think night time is different Thanks Dougie 3/ Can anyone else confirm? 4/ Also can someone really send a Jr to a race and not have a handler? Why don't they just lump it with the race fees? Seriously.

There's possibility of shut-eye on the train back for an hour and a half. That reminds me, got to remember to take the bike lock.

Questions for the above. Just the Juniors program
1/ are there fees for "the handler " ?
2/ are there fees for other members of the family attending ?

I'm taking other 2 kids there and really don't want to drive there and find out it's going to cost me an additional $45 to support this.

utopia

Sounds like a great adventure!

I'm very keen, but will need to be back Sydney 7am-ish.
I'm targeting exiting at Wyee (125 + 5 km mark) to catch either the 3:40am or 5:22am train back.
It'll be the longest ride I'll be doing from Sydney, heading northwards.

My friend rode for Rapha in cyclocross films over asia , bike-wise he was using his Dogma at that time if I recall, but that stood up ok.
However he wrecked his Shamals wheelset.

There's a reason why Rapha Continental riders get a Ti Firefly bike with bomb proof wheels.

From what I see from Garmin, a track training session very seldom goes over 40km.
