Not The World Cup Cup - Queenstown

Not The World Cup Cup - Queenstown It's not a race, it's an opportunity to compare times and see the difference between people. We're not in the World Cup and neither are you..

The best damn mountain bike series of it's kind... in Queenstown... at this time of year... doing exactly this kind of thing. So, what's the story? This...

Format:
One race per World Cup Round. Starts 14th April 2017 for first round. Times are received during the period between WC rounds only. The tracks aren’t released until the next round of the WC, so it’s a bit of a secret. Announced at Bikea

holic WC screenings and then a day later for people who don't show? Podium – 1st, 2nd 3rd for day time and night time categories. Results posted live by white board in the Bikeaholic shop window. Prizes – stuff all but there might be a sweet trophy – tbc

Rules:
1. If you take it seriously, or are caught Stavassholing you are DQ’d.
2. No E-bikes - if you think about it or mention it, you might be DQ'd.
3. Times must be presented via Strava or something similar and within 24 hrs of riding.
4. All riders must consume a Snickers Bar and bottle of Chocolate milk en-route and submit photo evidence of consumption. 5 (10??) minute bonus for the best photo per round.
5. If you take it seriously, your are DQ'd.
6. 5 minute bonus for hardtail.
7. If you cheat, you suck, DQ.
8. If you win a round, you are exempt from winning another round until next year.
9. The rules may change at any time. You are allowed to submit as many times as you like within the time between WC rounds. Trails:
All trails/rides start and finish at Bikeaholic. We'll chuck a map on the FB page to show the general intent with 24 hours of each WC round.

Round 1 map as shown, Salmon Run via Beeched As, start and finish at Bikeaholic.
Submit a time before the 21st April.
Salmon Run has had a fair bit of action and is tough in a few places now so take it easy.
Rules?
Not many; ride the loop, time yourself, indulge in something tasty along the way (we recommend chocolate milk and a snickers).
5 min bonus for hardtail, 5 min bonus for night ride, 5 min bonus for v brakes, 10 min bonus for fully rigid. All bonuses are add, you could score a 25 min bonus total.
No ebikes.

About a month and a half until the first race of the season...
Anyone keen to have a reason to ride all winter?
Same low key idea as last year. Less rules, less fuss, similar trails.
Bloody good excuse to get out for a ride over winter.
What do you reckon?

This could be the best dig night of the year! More new trail. More sweet terrain.
Get a free uplift with Skyline Queenstown. Leaving the base at 5:50pm. If you're late, you'll miss last lift.
Bring your bike, bring some gloves.
We've got tools and beers for after.
Tell your mates, tell you bro's and cuzzies.

Holy Crap! The season is coming to an end!
This weekend!
You'd better get out there and have a go otherwise you'll miss it.
You'll be the one saying "yeah, that looked cool, but I never got around to it, I just sat on my couch and ate chips"

Team slow set a record snail pace on Sunday of 2hrs 4 mins! Incredible.
How do they achieve such tortoise like pace? Dedication to the art of the chat, a drive train that hasn't seen maintenance in 2 years and backing up off a big Saturday.
Does it matter? Hell no.

Updated with times adjusted. It'll be great up there today! Slip slop slap.

'kn ages...
Here is the descent map.
The climb is pretty obvious because you go up Hammies until the top, then keep going up until you reach the top parapont take off.
You might have to get inventive getting up to the parapont take off, walk a few bits, we don't really know what they are up to with earthworks up there at the moment. It's a bloody good place for a choccy milk though!
Righto, get into it. This weekend, on your new bike, if you've got one.

What's this? Winners cups!
One for Allan for his win in the last round and one for Erin for her win earlier in the season (we forgot to get hers done, sh*te race directors eh)
Pick 'em up at Bikeaholic kids.
Have we forgotten anyone else?
