Teams Snoozing

Steve Cooper - SleepMonsters Australia / 05.06.2009

A day in Forster today meant running around putting the final touches to gear, predominantly rafting techniques and set up, before getting regos over and then competancies before a 5 legged prologues which has seeded the teams for tommorrow mornings start west of Barrington township out on the Scone rd.

Water levels did mean that teams wouldnt have the chance to enjoy the paddle down to Barrington township, an unfortunate result of the heavy rain, but something that should certainly make the bike and trek legs interetsing.

The Race itself is split in 2.

Leg 1 of the event is split into 4 stages, or rather 3 now, a bike of 38.5km down the Barrington Range, this will be followed by a 6km rogaine in the upper reaches of the Bowman River, and then another 23km MTB over the Copeland Range ending up at Rocky Crossing. Teams will then be picked up and transported back to HQ at Forster.
