thought this might interest some of you guys. I took a heap of pics of the Mt Cotton Hillclimb course last week and a mate is hosting them for me.

Pictures really don't do the place justice. They really don't capture the elevation changes, and how steep those hills actually are.

These pics were taken early afternnon. It's normal for the track to stay damp in the loops (the sweeping corners at the top of the hills) because they're so shaded by the tall trees. And if there's been decent rain in the lead up to an event, you sometimes get water flowing across the track out of the hillside even if its not raining on the day. Awesome place...

this is the veiw of the track as you wait to be signalled forward for your warmup burnout just before your run...




something funny happened with the numbering - for some reason the editing program thinks 1 comes after 19 and before 20, 2 comes after 29 and before 30, and so on... weird. But if you can follow the numbers in the file names its a sequence of the whole track - like walking around the track. Pics 3 to 9 are on page 2.
