Topic: Bendigo 6hr & 3hr 23rd May 2010

The Bendigo 6hr provides riders with a great “country” atmosphere venue with camping beside the track on the Saturday night and a track that is suited to a wide range of riders. The event is an endurance race around a course of approximately 11km, and open to solo riders, pairs and teams to complete as many laps as possible.

In 2010, we have added a 3 hr category for solo riders along with  a new sponsor JETBLACK Cycling, check out their range of great range of bike accessories, available from Paul at Bendigo Cycles. Products from both these sponsors will be up for grabs and given away as spot prizes at the 6/3Hr to the total of $8000.

Solo 6hr riders will vie for cash and free entries to the Golden Triangle Epic to be held on September 5th.

Entries are open online at http://entryzone.com.au/index.php?main_ … e513cf9582

Re: Bendigo 6hr & 3hr 23rd May 2010

Another fairly tough one; shitloads of rocks (didn't fall off, TF). Managed 7 laps & >6h:10m riding time in 6h:27m, about 75km & 2000m of climbing.

Came 14th out of 20 in the 40+ 6Hr Male category. Glad I took it steady at the start, still a bit worse for wear after the Six Hours in the Saddle at Beechworth last weekend; plenty of rocks there too, managed to bang myself up on a few of them. Looks like more then 1 week is required to recover from a 6-hour.

Sorry to miss the point to point; would loved to see how I went on this, since it would have been similar to the very first proper MTB ride I went on last year in March and fell off about a dozen times! Some of my Sundays are triple booked though.

Have Chase the Sun 5Hr @ Lysterfield next week and then the Forrest 6-Hour the weekend after. I luv Forrest!

Hope the point to point went really well, look forward to the race report and results.
