I'm one of them, I'm happy for others to attend, but unfortunately there's no payment. Meet at Waroona at 8.15 for 9.00 am start.

I too have put up my hand and as yet haven't heard, the weather is looking promising, has anyone else done this run before and do they have any idea of a finishing time. :thumb

The race is only from Waroona to dwellingup along nanga brook road, there are two distances, the longest goes to dwellingup and return. I expect to finish just after lunch.  A nice little run.

Hi Pete,
Thanks for the info, if you only need two people then i may bow out as its a cut lunch and water bag from Wanneroo to Waroona and a very early start. However i will always help out when i can, enjoy the day.

Cheers Chris

Pete
I will drop out if there is no need for others as I need to check jobs for a tender and have just realised it may be a 1100 km trip.  :fp  Let me know if you need a hand  :grin
Cheers

What he said.

Post by: Totgas on July 29, 2015, 06:26:46 PM

Just joking. Thought it was strange that it was facing the wrong way.
Looks like Pete's front tyre is a little on the low side, or is it just the angle?
Any footage worth sharing?
Do they provide the Marshal signs? and
How are those strobes going?

I should have some sample footage soon, strobes are great.
