I was going but just cancelled the flights… Staying home now as my wife was just diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago and is already undergoing chemo!
Wow. Well that sucks and hope everything works out for you both.
Thanks. Has been a hard couple of weeks!
Was looking forward to the Adelaide rounds, as I’ve heard good things about the racing there!
Where is the course?
Not sure yet. It’ll be up on the PACC Facebook page soon.
MTBA says they are both on at Mulch Hill (Bakkabakkandi & Tuttungga Adelaide (Pklands 16 &17), SA)
Jeebus. All the best eh. Tough journey ahead, but plenty to hope for.
That’s interesting. I thought they would be at different locations.
Either way I’ll be there on the Saturday b
At the Melbourne and Canberra rounds they used the majority of the same course, just in reverse the second day…
Traditionally they have used mulch hill/forest of doom first day and zombie park second day. theres no shortage of space in that zone so could use quite different courses with minimal overlap.
a little birdie has also told me that that might not be the final locations (ie these are placeholders) as they dont want people ‘practicing’ on the courses in advance of the races and creating additional wear and tear.
we shall see (or people will, im going OS the day after the weekend so missing out as well).
Yeah, last year was Forest of Doom then Zombie Park. The year before was Mulch Hill, then Zombie Park (I think?).
It’s not a huge, there are 4 courses that are pretty much on the boundary of the city, so it’s not like it’s a road trip to get to any of them. Unless you’re Smutters.
So it’s Mulch Hill and Forest Of Doom this weekend.
EDIT: I wrote Zombie Park and meant Forest Of Doom.
I have it on fairly good authority that it is Mulch Hill both days broham.
I’m just going by the email I got last night.

Forest of Doom is the park next to Mulch Hill (Vic Park). Zombie Park is the one next to the cemetery in the western Park Lands.
I’m a dummy. The whole time I meant Forest of Doom but wrote Zombie Park.
Anyone coming over for the Nationals this weekend?
I believe DK is heading over from Brissy.
yessir… looks like it will be a muddy one.
