RIDER ADVICE #1
DON'T FORGET THESE...
1. A Bike (D'uh)
2. A standards approved helmet (no good lid, no racey racey)
3. 15L of water (each)
4. A comfy folding chair... there's nothing finer than a comfy camp chair at 2:15am.
5. A towel, because hot showers make you wet :0)
RIDER ADVICE #2
EARLY BIRD GETS WORM Get the stressful stuff out of the way early by coming down Friday. You can grab a good campsite, register from 2pm, go for a light pedal then kick back and enjoy the Roller Racing
RIDER ADVICE #3
DRIVE HOME FRESH Driver fatigue is a significant issue following an endurance race. We learned of a nasty crash after the Mont last year, and do not want to see any repeats. If you are traveling from interstate for the Mont please consider staying the Sunday night and heading off early Monday morning. Stop. Revive. Survive.
RIDER ADVICE #4
WORK OUT THOSE KINKS Stretching and massage can help keep you going through the long hours. Go HERE for more info.
Would you like to eat Free Delicious Dutch Pancakes for whole Mont weekend? Win, and you and your
team will get free pancakes all weekend. (Note: You should probably
still ride!)
In 100 words or less, convince us why you
are the most worthy for sponsorship. Be entertaining. Send your entry HERE! Winners announced before the event.
STAY IN THE LOOP
If you have missed any of our Newsletters, you can view them HERE.
Welcome to Newsletter #7. We are getting tantalisingly close to race day. Take a few minutes to read it through and then send it on to your teammates. We look forward to seeing you at the Mont soon. Keep the rubber side down! Did anyone say FREE PANCAKES?
24HR racing is not only gruelling on your body but also takes its toll on your machine. Use of the correct lubricants is essential to ensure that your steed keeps running smoothly and reliably through the race. Complimentary Weldtite Lube will be available for use at the Weldtite Lube Bay. Go HERE for more information on Weldtite Lubricants.
I received some Winners Bars in the post last week, and as it happens they arrived just before a lunchtime ride. Nice flavour - not too rich and pretty easy to eat. I was an instant fan and so too were the guys in the office. Look for your Winners Bar in your team race bag (there's one for every rider) - but be quick - or your teammates will most likely snaffle them.
Rawhide Roller Racing will be held on Friday night before the Mont. Bikes are provided - 4 x groovy-as singlespeed bikes - identically geared - with good old fashioned toe straps. Set your seat height and race! A great reason to arrive early, set up and have some fun. Saddle Up! Go HERE for more information and to see roller racing videos.
Awesome Sock Guy has camped out under the stars at many race venues around the world and has honed his special skills at making each camp better than the last. You can benefit from his years of experience and get it right first time round. Go HERE. Our media buddies at AMB are sending copies of their latest issue to include in team race bags. Now you'll have something to do when you're not cranking out laps... aside from talking up your performances. Enjoy, and thanks AMB.
You could almost leave the esky at home this year as we have lined up a great range of good food vendors for the Mont. Here's a rundown on the food, drink and energy choices to keep your belly full, your brain happy and your legs in top gear;
- Espresso Mobile : Astoundingly good coffee! Two coffee carts running flat out for the weekend. Three on Sunday! Get caffeinated.
- Three Chefs Catering : Hot fresh pastas, steak and chicken wraps, salad wraps, egg & bacon rolls, hot chips, fresh cold salads, fresh squeezed orange juice, cold energy drinks, soft drinks, beer
- Dutch Pancakes : They are an MTB institution, and an ideal snack to see you flying through your morning laps
- Jacko's Pizzeria : Gourmet pizzas, egg & bacon rolls, fresh sandwiches, cold drinks etc
- The Outdoor Oven : Baked filled potatoes. Mexican - nachos, tacos and tortillas, hot dogs, chips and wraps, fresh cold salads, fresh squeezed orange juice, cold drinks

We've got a burning need for your dead or dying SPD pedals. The first 10 pairs to arrive at Race Rego will earn the owners a gift for their effort. It will all make sense during the presentations.
We'd like your help to deliver the Mont. Become part of the Mont 24 Hour Race Crew and discover a great way to experience the event and support your mates or loved ones while they wear their 'race face'. If you have the time and energy we have the right job for you. There's a wide range of things to help out with like rego, timing, marshalling etc. and we'll look after you too. You'll even scoop a limited edition shirt, hat and a nice feed to boot. Send your name and contact details HERE.
