Discussion: Super Long World Champs

Sorry Mounty but like any good orienteering race the entries closed in August. Did you not send your cheque in before the entries closed?

Jan 4, 2010 11:49 PM #

I sent my cheque for 43 cents by carrier pigeon 9 months ago.

Damn bird must have got lost.

Jan 5, 2010 8:13 AM #

The bird made good and received the cheque on time.

What date would suit everyone best in Feb? Should we leave it as the 6th?

Jan 5, 2010 9:07 AM #

20th would be good, day before Soundwave.

But might be able to coincide the 6th with a trip to Newcastle for AROC course setting.

Jan 6, 2010 2:24 AM #

NSW Stinger:

Prong will be in Victoria that weekend

Jan 6, 2010 2:55 AM #

6th is good for me.

Jan 6, 2010 12:47 PM #

How bout 20th then if Prong can make it and Dave? Would that be good for you Mounty?

I'm fine for any weekend.

Jan 6, 2010 11:55 PM #

I can do the 6th or the 20th as long as start time is after kiddie baseball in the morning.

Which collections of maps are we going to traverse?

Jan 7, 2010 2:15 AM #

im keen, 6 or 20 is good for me

Jan 7, 2010 8:57 AM #

what time is baseball? what time can start be?

Let's make it the 20th (unless anyone objects), it'll give me some time to join more maps.

So far:

Luna Park/Blues Point
Balls Head
Tunks Park
Artarmon Creek
West Chatswood
Blackman Park
Lane Cover River Park

Does anyone have anymore in the area? Blue Gum Creek, UTS Ku-Ring-Gai, Berry's Creek would be good.

Jan 7, 2010 9:21 AM #

Baseball finishes ~ 9:30-10.

If any of those maps are Big Foot maps, I can get the ocad files.

Jan 7, 2010 9:40 AM #

Actually Blue Gum Creek is Bigfoot and also Riverview would be good.

Jan 7, 2010 11:24 AM #

Yep, Ive got Blue Gum, Riverview & Butchers Block if that helps.

Jan 7, 2010 12:22 PM #

Thanks I'll take them all. That'll make 10 maps now. Probably shouldn't take any more as it'll be hard to beat in 2011.

Jan 11, 2010 12:06 AM #

If the mid-race feed-zone is at Macca's, where should we finish? Pub, someone's house,...?

Jan 11, 2010 8:49 AM #

Possibly Pub? We may go the opposite direction this year and finish at Blues Point.

Jan 11, 2010 11:34 AM #

Suggestion for 2011: towards Manly.

If I am still in town then we can finish at Blues Point and go to mine for bbq/beverages. Just around the corner from the Commodore.

Jan 11, 2010 11:45 AM #

sounds good on both counts...

Jan 11, 2010 10:37 PM #

im excited....

Jan 11, 2010 11:02 PM #

All we need now is live tracking

Jan 11, 2010 11:11 PM #

mouse136:

Police helicopter?

Jan 12, 2010 5:08 AM #

NSW Stinger:

Problem is that's the Stromlo Running Festival weekend.
Perhaps we could hold it in Canberra on the sunday instead?

Jan 12, 2010 5:29 AM #

I'll be spending my $80 on maccas and beers :)

Jan 14, 2010 12:08 PM #

Ok it's on for the 20th Feb at ~11am as no-one from Sydney will be going to Stromlo. Starting at Gordon Station and finishing near North Sydney. Let me know who's def in as I will try to print large maps.

Last year took 5-6 hours so be prepared for a long day, although there are plenty of rest opportunities as no one gets left behind.

Jan 16, 2010 9:40 AM #

Yep, Im good to go.

Jan 17, 2010 6:46 AM #

im in

Jan 17, 2010 6:38 PM #

steve - r you going to soundwave the day after with dave?

Jan 17, 2010 11:56 PM #

Im in for the 20th. Stromlo is not worth the trip im afraid. im going to soundwave too

Jan 18, 2010 12:05 AM #

yeah steve me prong ian at soundwave

Jan 18, 2010 2:02 AM #

Im 50/50. 50/50 Ill be going to soundwave if there are still tix available when I sort myself out.

Jan 18, 2010 6:07 AM #

'its cold and its smooth and its a hard shade of white.

And everybody needs to lick the surface clean

And it never taste better it never taste better!!'

unspellable patton scream.......

you know you want to glenn

Jan 18, 2010 6:15 AM #

Correct

Jan 18, 2010 6:17 AM #

Jan 18, 2010 10:36 AM #

yep soundwaving it up

hey dave when you coming to newy? bring that cruzy santa and some ayups up

Jan 18, 2010 10:38 AM #

yeah actually gonna figure out a date next week, real keen to hit up glenrock

Jan 18, 2010 8:50 PM #

i got a soundwave ticket but at the moment prob selling it. matt's got a few that he's selling. we got tickets to the sideshow the night after. I dont think i can justify the $ seeing them 2 nights in a row after seeing them in sziget too.

Jan 18, 2010 11:40 PM #

sideshow!!! ahhh fuck i didnt know they were doing one

Jan 18, 2010 11:56 PM #

You're all making me feel old.

Jan 19, 2010 8:25 AM #

it's not too late for you to buy a ticket Mounty :)

Jan 19, 2010 8:45 AM #

It's about 10 years too late I think.

Jan 25, 2010 2:36 AM #

sideshow? can i still get a ticket for that??

Jan 25, 2010 2:40 AM #

for a hefty fee on ebay....

Jan 25, 2010 2:41 AM #

i love when people comment on this thread, i watch cuckoo for caka everytime

Jan 25, 2010 2:52 AM #

you can't kill it

Jan 25, 2010 5:07 AM #

yeah, being good it gets you..........stuff!

Jan 25, 2010 5:44 AM #

nice one puff.

Jan 28, 2010 12:20 AM #

Ok 20 is best for me. I'll be in Vic the 6th. The defending champ has to me there to beat right?
I can't do a stop at maccas. New year reso is NO MACCAS. Beer is fine though

Jan 28, 2010 12:32 AM #

well that's your bad luck - that macca's wills sure taste good after 2-3hrs running!

Jan 28, 2010 12:34 AM #

Prong - I will be living in the Cross from tomorrow for at least the next week, so we should do alot of running if you're up for it.

Jan 28, 2010 12:37 AM #

welcome back andy.

Prong those quarter pounders are gonna taste so sweet....

Jan 28, 2010 1:05 AM #

thanks!

mmmmmm quarter pounders.....

Jan 28, 2010 1:38 AM #

yeah welcome home andyhill.

we might take roy down to sydney to meet uncle luke (he's getting home next week) soon, i'll bring the roadie if you and/or any of the real stingers (ezy, prong, glenn, steveo) are keen for a ride? i wanna have a crack at some of them hills you boys ride up.

Jan 28, 2010 2:23 AM #

thanks and yeh looking fwd to meeting Roy. Dont have a roadie yet so will have to sit this one out but Im sure the others will be keen.

Jan 28, 2010 2:45 AM #

Prong's secret race food

Jan 28, 2010 2:50 AM #

That's still maccas Mounty. Oh well I'll just have to have 4L of slurpy again. It helped last year.
Shep - is that the wkend on the 6th? Otherwise ride sounds good.
Andy- the cross sounds cool. I'm still in the same place. I can show u all the other hills I have found.

Jan 28, 2010 7:18 PM #

Since this appears to be the place to "register", I am pretty sure I'm in. Also, if you guys have some good run/o recommendations while I am in Sydney, let me know. All tips appreciated!

Jan 28, 2010 10:33 PM #

Hey Boris,

A good place to start is Wednesday afternoons:

http://www.sydneysummerseries.com.au

You should catch the last few if you are in town Feb/March. Quite basic orienteering but great for seeing alot more of Sydney than many people see.

Jan 28, 2010 10:58 PM #

The Super Long sounds like a good warm up for this

Jan 29, 2010 3:30 AM #

Thanks guys. I am definitely planning on getting to as many of the summer series and sprint series events as I can. Is there an easy way to get to most of these places by public transit? For example, Monday's Sprint Series event at Bicentennial Park? (I am sure I'll figure it out after a while, but I'd love a tip for this first one.)

Jan 29, 2010 3:39 AM #

A few of the sydneysiders on here are regulars and could provide transport. You'll very quickly learn public transport isnt Sydney's forte. Its too spread out I think and about 40 years behind.

Anyone going to offer? I might be able but not sure.

Jan 29, 2010 3:54 AM #

Concord west train station is very close to Bicentennial Park.

Jan 29, 2010 5:09 AM #

Thanks lazydave. I'll try that.

Jan 29, 2010 5:18 AM #

OK I'm confused. Is there an event on at Bicentennial Park?

Feb 1st UTS Lindfield BF Tracy Marsh 94277628
UTS, Eton Rd, Lindfield
Feb 8th Gladesville Hospital GO Ross Barr 96606939
Banjo Paterson Park, Punt Rd, Gladesville
Feb 15th Watsons Bay WH Barry Hanlon 98722914
Robertson Park, (cnr Military Rd and Clovelly St), Watsons Bay
Feb 22nd Macquarie University GO James Lithgow 94845717
Near Macquarie Uni Swimming Centre, enter from Culloden Rd, Marsfield
Mar 1st Manly Dam BN Terry Bluett 99486945
Section 1, Manly Dam, King St, Manly Vale
Mar 8th Balls Head BF Jock Davis 94027665
Waverton Park, Larkin St, Waverton

Jan 29, 2010 8:41 AM #

Hmm, I downloaded a version of the sprint series calendar a couple of weeks ago, and it had Bicentennial Park listed for February 1st. Now I see that it is UTS Lindfield, as O-ing suggests. I guess there was a change, and I didn't notice. Thanks!

Jan 29, 2010 9:40 AM #

hey Boris i don't wanna discourage you from running the super long world champs (i'd come down and run if it was the weekend before) but we got some good stuff going on in canberra that weekend (national training camp)... a night race friday, stromlo running festival orienteering race satdy morn (now you can enter JUST the orienteering ($25) and not the whole festival), techo training satdy arvo, and 2 techo sessions sunday. good preparation for the easter 3 days...

Jan 29, 2010 11:20 AM #

Hi Boris - if you still want to go to the UTS Lindfield Sprint there are trains from Sydney every 10-15 minutes to Roseville Station. The 565 bus ($2) goes from across the road to the west at 16.14, 16.50, 17.33 and 18.13. I know because I get off at the stop before UTS where we live. If you miss the bus its a 15 minute walk. You are welcome to drop in here after for a BBQ/shower. That applies to other APers reading this too! Email me for more details.

Feb 1, 2010 12:27 AM #

location for tonights sprint is UTS Lindfield. I will be running from Roseville Station (approx 15 minutes). my number is 0403373206 if you want to meet up around 530ish.

Feb 1, 2010 2:52 AM #

sorry ignore the last message, phone battery died - i'll still be at Roseville Station around 530ish

Feb 1, 2010 6:55 PM #

First day at the uni ran late, so I didn't get out until after 6. Probably just as well, as the jetlag is vicious. Are any of you guys going to the Boronia Park summer series event tomorrow?

Feb 1, 2010 9:19 PM #

Yes I will be. I dont have a car at the moment so my dad is picking me up at West Ryde Train Station at 5.15pm. Will be getting a train from Central Station at 4.30pm. Let me know if you want a lift/meet me at either station.

Feb 2, 2010 12:45 AM #

That sounds good. I'll aim to meet you at Central Station at 4.25. I have your number and will call/text if something comes up, unless your phone is still dead?

Feb 2, 2010 1:21 AM #

Cool - it'll be working tomorrow. Meet at entrance gates on lower level off Eddy Ave.

Feb 2, 2010 8:24 AM #

Hey, welcome home andy.....not that i'm there of course but I guess it's still home!

yes - there would have plenty of egg on my face

Feb 3, 2010 10:14 AM #

what are we up to?

the space these comments are taking up on ken's server must be expensive. well, better make the most of it.

fart.

Feb 3, 2010 10:16 AM #

meh, its paid for by the bendigo orienteers google ads that come up occasionally

Feb 5, 2010 3:13 AM #

Mounty - if you still read this can you pls send me those maps if you have them ahill@pb.com.au

thanks

Feb 5, 2010 4:24 AM #

Yeah, still here. I'm watching the thread move in to the nervous ninety's with interest. Easy enough for Glenn to knock out singles in the 80's, but lets see how he goes in Shane Watson territory.

Feb 5, 2010 5:59 AM #

only 10 to go now.

chris gayle would have got there weeks ago.

Feb 5, 2010 8:58 AM #

yeah, i'm a bit nervous. easy to knock the singles around like this than play and miss, which I tend to do.

Feb 5, 2010 11:44 AM #

Come on guys keep the conversation going...

balls..

Feb 5, 2010 11:55 AM #

how many controls over what distance are we looking at andy?

will patton ever do another peeping tom album?
discuss

Feb 5, 2010 5:08 PM #

6 runs would do it from here....who's gonna score 'em though!

Feb 6, 2010 4:38 AM #

patton will never stop making noise. i can't wait for the next one!

although i'd rather hear a new fantomas or bungle album than a peeping tom one...

Feb 6, 2010 6:59 AM #

We need new bungle for sure

Feb 8, 2010 5:31 AM #

Course setting has begun and we will be starting at Ezy's place in Pymble and finishing at Glenn's place in North Sydney.

Feb 8, 2010 7:00 AM #

andy, you keen to bring boris down to the shire next weekend for the coast run or the horse? boris are you keen to hold hands with andy? we might head down to sydney, if we do i'd be keen for a long run...

Feb 8, 2010 10:17 PM #

Yep Prong and I are both in.

Mounty/Glenn/Ezy - are you in?

Feb 8, 2010 11:04 PM #

I'm in provided I can run by then. (Also: #100!)

Feb 9, 2010 1:36 AM #

Would have been super keen, but Im doing the blackheart mtb 100k'er on sunday.

Feb 9, 2010 1:41 AM #

yeah cool, i've been tossing up whether or not to do that race... i love those tracks, i love mtb marathons... i'm just not in shape!

Feb 9, 2010 4:49 AM #

Im out. ankle problems

Feb 9, 2010 6:42 AM #

meow.

i can see 150, easy.

Feb 9, 2010 8:03 AM #

I will ride in the morn instead, having company in the arvo so sticking close to home.
All correspondence must now go through this thread, emails, text messages, everything. into the 1000s by friday.

Feb 9, 2010 8:06 AM #

has anyone got my sleeping bag? steve or glenn, I have a feeling it might have been left in one of your cars.

Feb 9, 2010 9:31 AM #

ezy - havnt seen any additional sleeping bag

Feb 9, 2010 9:43 AM #

enjoy the fire trails mounty, heavy rain looks like its going to cut a heap of the ST out.

Feb 9, 2010 9:46 AM #

Bert Bennett:

Hopefully I'll be coming. Sounds like great fun

Feb 9, 2010 10:35 AM #

Oh. Maybe I will be up for a long run.

I havent got a sleeping bag, but Ive got pretty much all the other Meyer stuff. Ezy's jacket and Glenn's GPS. Donate as prizes for the SLOWC?

Feb 9, 2010 10:46 AM #

prizes sound good
think the jacket should be for 1st finisher who's name starts with s

Feb 9, 2010 12:11 PM #

Map has been joined together but there is a big hole in the middle where Pottery Green and Berry's Creek would go. I'm gonna have to scan Google in. 9 maps altogeter now.

Feb 9, 2010 12:12 PM #

I havent seen your sleeping bag Ezy.

Feb 9, 2010 12:14 PM #

I forgot about that jacket! Sweet.

Feb 9, 2010 1:19 PM #

Haha - shit you've had that jacket for a while now mounty!

Feb 9, 2010 10:00 PM #

It's been sitting at my desk since I brought it in to town to give to you. Which was the day you flew out I think.

Feb 11, 2010 12:28 AM #

My FNM ticket is being sold and I will be going to Soundwave now. Bring on next weekend!

Feb 11, 2010 9:31 AM #

fuck yeah andy!!

why no pottery green/berrys creek?

Feb 11, 2010 9:32 AM #

fuck yeah andy!!

why no pottery green/berrys creek?

Feb 11, 2010 12:31 PM #

dont have them? next year for them then!

Feb 12, 2010 9:20 AM #

May pull out of Super Long Champs. depending on ankle.

Feb 14, 2010 11:45 PM #

Course has been finalised and has 150 controls. Hopefully, we can still start at Ezy's place even if he doesn't run.

Dave/Steve - are you staying there before you go to Soundwave?

Feb 14, 2010 11:56 PM #

Nice.

I havent asked yet but im gonna say yes.

Feb 14, 2010 11:58 PM #

Nice. What's the expected winning time?

Feb 15, 2010 12:15 AM #

Last year was 4hrs4minutes including rest in between sets plus warm up/down. Even though this year has 3 extra maps and more controls - i tried to make it shorter. I'm guessing it will be a similar time.

Feb 15, 2010 12:26 AM #

Higher control density than last year's? I dont think I've got the attention span. Last year's map at...
http://www.ar.attackpoint.org/discussionthread.jsp...

I like Andy's race report - "I really struggled from controls 60 to 80".

Feb 15, 2010 12:51 AM #

Yes but McDonalds does wonders with energy levels and I was back!

Feb 15, 2010 12:53 AM #

The race will still start at my place regardless if I run or not. The guys are staying at my place regardless if they want to or not.

Feb 15, 2010 2:48 AM #

Alright, I am back in town and have time to myself (at work). Finish is at mine, I will get the barbie going for a snag or two each plus refreshments. I will run as far my calf allows me, which may be 10 mins or may be the whole way, not sure.
I am looking forward to getting my watch back :)

Feb 15, 2010 3:08 AM #

I have just got my Soundwave ticket. I cant wait to see Placebo!

Feb 15, 2010 3:33 AM #

Nice :)

Feb 15, 2010 4:39 AM #

placebo? gay.

Feb 15, 2010 5:02 AM #

yeah he cant wait to see the back of placebos' heads.

ill run as far as my fat arse allows me. cant wait for the beers after

Rob, is alex coming with you? Youre welcome to stay at ian's too.

Feb 15, 2010 5:28 AM #

Ive got to look forward to something with My Chemical Romance pulling out.

So Andy how many are you catering for? Ill cater for the same number.

Feb 15, 2010 5:49 AM #

I have to run a 'science party' for 7 year olds on sunday. Any tips for impressive experiments that won't get me sued?

After saturday I should be able to do a good lactic acid demonstration.

Feb 15, 2010 6:38 AM #

the tea bag (with tea removed) that you set fire to and watch it take off is a ripper mounty!

Feb 15, 2010 8:05 AM #

macey:

dave yeah at this stage i'm coming down for it, should be awesome

Feb 15, 2010 8:35 AM #

sweet. Im getting pretty pumped for this. Might even go for a run at some stage to get ready for it

Feb 15, 2010 10:53 PM #

Glenn - cater for approx 10 people.

Feb 15, 2010 10:59 PM #

For everyone that is coming on Saturday – please be at Ezy’s place (1178 Pacific Highway, Lindfield) from 10am for 10.30 start. There will be plenty of water on the course but bring $10 for Maccas and Slurpees if you want. We will be finishing at Glenn’s place in North Sydney for a BBQ. I will supply the beer!

Feb 16, 2010 12:26 AM #

I have to do a drop off at ninja class at 10:15 near Lindfield station. Will come straight from there.

Glenn, what's your address? The clever thing to do would be to drop a bag with beer drinking attire at your place on the way past on the friday evening commute.

I torched half a dozen tea-bags last night. Sensational.

Feb 16, 2010 12:50 AM #

hahaha good one mounty!

Feb 16, 2010 1:26 AM #

Yep Glenn ill be dropping some clothes around on Fri night probably.

Feb 16, 2010 1:28 AM #

So start list looks like
Andy, Mounty, Prong, Steveo, Me, Rob, Alex, Glenn, Ian (?), Boris (?)

i am missing anyone.

Feb 16, 2010 2:04 AM #

would the veterans of the super long faternity be taking camelbaks with them? (having not done a course with controls 60-80 to struggle through im unsure of the gentlemans agreement)

Feb 16, 2010 2:07 AM #

lazydave>>You can remove the question mark. I'm in.

Feb 16, 2010 2:43 AM #

I have planned the course so the majority of rest controls have taps so shouldn't be much need to bring water.

Feb 16, 2010 3:42 AM #

youre a thinker andy.

good stuff boris, i wasnt sure if shep had talked u into the canberra shenanigans.

Also im planning on a manly dam ride sun morning if im not too shagger from the the SLWC. All invited of course.

Feb 16, 2010 3:52 AM #

Are you gonna fit the ride in between sets at Soundwave? You're an animal!

Feb 16, 2010 4:07 AM #

yep :)

Just on that how are we gonna get there/back? im assuming we are all keen on a beer or five, is public transport an option? the website is shithouse

Feb 16, 2010 4:13 AM #

I've looked at all the options and train then bus is best. Jonnie did it last year - apparently 1.5 hrs from north shore.

Feb 16, 2010 4:19 AM #

not too bad.

i dont really mind getting there late, i couldnt a stuff about any band but FNM.

Feb 16, 2010 4:27 AM #

Don't plan on a Manly Dam ride. Warringah Council closed it on Friday permanently for 'safety reasons'. The sh*t has predictably hit the fan, and all sorts of hoo-haa being set up to get it overturned but bikes being asked to stay off to keep the moral high ground.

Feb 16, 2010 4:36 AM #

ah buggar. guess ill illegally ride some national park trails then. or do nothing.

Feb 16, 2010 4:45 AM #

dave - but if we paid $150 i'd want to get my moneys worth. Im sure there are some other decent bands that we dont know about.

Feb 16, 2010 5:42 AM #

I'll probably be dropping Will off at Nanas place on Sun arvo and then driving to Eastern Creek, so I can fit a carload of people on the way back to the city afterwards.

My address is 38 Bank St, Nth Sydney, towards Waverton. You can leave your stuff on the front porch under a box I will leave there, I will be there from say 5:30 (I live down the back). I let my mother in law know so she doesnt think her house is being done over.

Mounty try youtubing 'cadbury science ad' or 'julius sumner miller'. Some classic stuff there. The only one I remember is the egg being sucked into the bottle.

Feb 16, 2010 6:40 AM #

i bags a spot in glenns car back.

Its a good point andy but its a shithouse festival, the boys can confirm that after last year!

Feb 16, 2010 9:43 AM #

Confirmed.

Feb 16, 2010 10:18 AM #

I will be going to see other bands. My house mate, Niyant "Token" Narayan, is gonna give us a lift home after soundwaves as he will be at his folks placein Penrith that day. So for those stayig at my place after you already have a ride.

I'll get sausages and salad and rolls for the end.

Feb 18, 2010 9:38 AM #

Bert Bennett:

Ezy. I might need to stay at your place on Saturday night if I'm too stuffed to drive home. It's a 3-4 hour drive and it might be a bit dodgy. Probably won't have to but just in case.

Feb 18, 2010 9:42 AM #

macey:

hey glenn rob and i are going to drop round on sat morning too if thats ok and leave one of our cars there with stuff to change into.

No probs Axel come one come all

Feb 18, 2010 10:29 PM #

Andy, are you sending us thru' enough sydney bush for me to have to dig out o-pants? And do I need to bring a 1 metre long map bag?

Feb 18, 2010 11:02 PM #

how much do we owe you for the map?

Feb 18, 2010 11:31 PM #

Map is double sided A3 and majority will be on tracks (like Summer Series). Bring your own map bag. Printing and beer is on me.

Feb 19, 2010 5:46 AM #

Is Ezy's address hidden somewhere amongst the 2000 posts above?

Feb 19, 2010 5:49 AM #

Yes, take the first letter of each post. Somewhere in that there should be a message that guides you to his house.
Btw are you dropping stuff off this arvo?

Feb 19, 2010 5:51 AM #

Feb 19, 2010 6:37 AM #

Mounty:

I've already dropped off my stuff. And if Margo mentions I came past on the way to work at 11am, her watch must be wrong. Couldn't have been that late to work.

Feb 19, 2010 9:29 AM #

Ezy:

4/1178 Pacific Hwy Pymble. There is an old 2 story sandstone building infront of my apartment building. walk between it and the diveway to the front door and buzz the #4 intercom. it looks preety clear on google earth street view

Sebba:

Haha - it'd be much easier if they started numbering the pacific highway from 1 in north sydney up to 100,000 or whatever instead of restarting every suburb!

Feb 19, 2010 9:55 AM #

Ezy:

and for national highway 1.

Feb 19, 2010 10:02 PM #

lazydave:

Its the day of the big race and the event arena is buzzing with anticipation. There have been rumblings about the low grade coffee available in the upper north shore suburb of pymble. Weather is looking great and the beers are cooling in glenn's fridge!

Feb 19, 2010 10:38 PM #

Ezy:

The official SLWC theme song, Faith No More's Cuckoo for Caca, is warming up the assembled crowd!

tRicky:

The event website link under AP Events takes me to this thread; the link above takes me back to AP events. How am I supposed to see what it's all about?

Aug 3, 2010 5:40 AM #

andyhill:

tRicky - event information is only included in this thread as you can probably tell from the 2010 event. All you have to do to enter in 2011 is say you are going in the drop-down list in the AP event.

Check out the 2010 AP event description for what's its about

SLWC 2010

As you'll see it's pretty social but everyone is welcome to come.

We're gonna have the SLWC earlier next year. Prob first week of January as Prong is going o/s mid Jan. I've added 2 extra maps so we're up to 12 I think now.

Sep 1, 2011 6:14 AM #

Sweet. what are the maps? Could use Milsons pt map and finish down under the bridge?

Sep 1, 2011 6:35 AM #

Yep Milsons Point and Cremorne, sounds good we'll finish under the bridge

Dec 15, 2011 11:45 PM #

OK when does everyone want to do SLWC IV? I'm getting a lot of calls for weekend of 15/16th January. Will this be ok?

I think only lazydave said he would prefer not that weekend.

Dec 16, 2011 7:36 AM #

Yeah I couldn't make it that weekend but might not make it up anyway so don't take me into account

Dec 17, 2011 1:38 AM #

Ok I'll move it to the following weekend for now.

We'll be having a farewell party for Prong after as he is moving o/s a few days after. Prong will owe me a 6-pack by then.

Dec 23, 2011 8:49 AM #

Sneak peek at the latest SLWC including 15 maps

Jan 6, 2012 9:12 AM #

Last chance for entries for SLWC next Saturday. There's only a few of us comfirmed. This year is longer with 4 additional maps and nearly double the controls as last year. So that we wont be out all day, we wont be stopping between sprints but just slowing down for 5 controls. Let me know by Wed if you want in. We'll be starting at North Sydney Oval and finishing at Macquarie University.

Jan 9, 2012 11:40 PM #

We're starting at 7am corner Miller and Falcon Streets.

Jan 10, 2012 1:40 AM #

I won't be there but history dictates you need a theme song:

Cant wait to see photos from the spaghetti relay at the finish.

Nov 3, 2012 9:55 PM #

We doin this in 2013?

Oct 18, 2013 3:27 AM #

Is Massey gonna make Bert leave early so that Bert can drive him to Orange to bone his sister again?

What about doing it Sat so we can have a few beers on sat night (im going to melb from Canberra early Monday morning)

Oct 18, 2013 4:40 AM #

Ah just realised the usnday is the 12th.

I wont be in for beers on sat night then!

Oct 18, 2013 5:20 AM #

whats the route? Epping to Luna Park

whats the point score system? Runners vote depending on how many entries, either 3-2-1 or winner 1

Is Massey gonna make Bert leave early so that Bert can drive him to Orange to bone his sister again? hahahaha

What about doing it Sat so we can have a few beers on sat night (im going to melb from Canberra early Monday morning) It is Saturday 11th
