I get my wisdom teeth out 4 days before this but I’ll also be in Melbourne for once. Thoughts?
Also props to the DDCX crew for devoting their time and energy to this!

Buy one wholesale from your work, race winter, clean, new chain, pads etc, sell for what you payed, (dusts hand motion).

Any plans for whether the Good Friday prologue will be day or night?
I bought that Ridley so I guess I should use it…

i’m heading up to Sydney for a Finnish Festival, and am unable to attend the HOT-CX-Prologue.
if anyone is wanting to race but doesn’t have a bike, i’m happy to loan my M/54 Jamis.
priority will be given to those flying in from interstate.

Complete noob here who wants to get in on the action, are there different grades for riders?

yes.
Up to 3 grades.
If you don’t have a CX legal bike, you slot into the lowest grade. (Beware MTB sandbaggers)

So what’s the kinda typical gearing you guys use? I’ll probably start with a single speed build, then a Shimergo 10/8sp later.
