Seem to have bitten off a bit more than planned when I volunteered for setting the Gungin MTBO event. Not only are there new single tracks to explore, but despite not intending to change the track grading, as I have never even ridden on a 4x2 map before, the gradings on the current map are so woeful that I am changing most of them, so figured I'd do my version of a 4x2 grading system and see how many complaints I get. As always, some of the tracks have obviously been there for ages and I don't know how they've not made it onto the version of the map I have, others are totally new. And there are hills. Lots of hills.
Pretty big day out considering I have spent a total of 4 hours on a bike this year before this morning. Bit tired now. Bum is sore. Only major stack of the day was an excursion over the handlebars in front of 3 spectators just before lunch.
Obviously lots of stop start with all the mapping side of things... still a big day. Gonna need another one just as big next weekend if I have any hope of an accurate map to set courses on.
On the plus side, have found a start location. Wasn't on the map, as it is new, but has a fair bit more parking space than the Dell and should be relatively easy to set reasonable courses in and out of it. No toilet though.
