nice vid, just wondering how do we enter for the 2011 event?

@1985xl600r At present the 2011 ride is booked out but in your case if you can prove that you are willing to travel from the USA to attend this event Downunder I am sure you could get a start. For more info check Fyxomatosisdotcom

Cheers, Jack.

@vermontcreekbed ah, im actually in melbourne, i havent updated my profile and youtube just presumes everyone is in USA. is there likely to be more entry spaces open? i actually want to enter a team of 5 representing an australian bicycle manufacturer

the fyxomatosis website doesnt have the links to enter anywhere obvious

@1985xl600r Unfortunately the Roobaix is extremely popular. Entries fill up quicker than a rock concert and this year 2011 the registration server crashed twice due to high traffic. On the third attempt registrations were opened at 12:00 noon and 4 hours later all available places were taken. Last year 400 registrations were accepted and this year places were increased significantly. I understand Black Sheep entries are available and they need to be emailed to Fyxomatosis.

Great event! I feel sorry for the folks you caught "walking" their bikes through that off-road section next to the Yarra.. how embarrassing! :-)

@dildog Actually it is the same guy just caught in the helmet and seat cam. I was determined to get the edit out on Sunday night and it is not as slick as I hoped but I think it captures the day reasonably well.

Thanks for making the comment.

@mirabilo Not very nice!

this guy was losing weight through cycling at this stage he was about 103kg down from 132kg currently he is feeling great and has his weight under control in the mid 80kg's Well done to him.

@dildog Hey I didn't have a spare tube, And after that little run, I felt like I had cheated the system a little. From that point on, I did every single hill climb cobble or non cobble. Man that was a fun day!
