Sri chinmoy Multi-sport in Jindabyne.....anyone done the long MTB leg?
I'm doing the 42.8km 3rd MTB leg of the Multi-sport event in a few weeks - link to leg description below. I find myself spending a lot of time (as I ride uphill and uphill and uphill) wondering exactly why the author of the description thought I would most need to know how many vertical metres I would be descending.... I find myself able to tackle 100's of metres of vertical descents with a great deal of composure however a little more detail on the total vertical metres I would need to climb...now that would be a useful thing for training!
Anyone done the leg and have any idea?

I did "half" this loop around new year with someone who did the event a few years ago. I say "half" because, a few years ago, it used to follow a trail along the river back towards Lake Jindy, but when we got to the trail turn off (at the bottom of the massive gravel rd downhill, at the river), it turns out that old trail had been closed due to safety concerns... So we had to hoof it back up the massive down... etc... you get the idea.
Anyway now the loop continues across the river, which is a mega clay up hill (slippery if wet!) followed by another hill, and... so forth. I don't know the numbers but it's epic.
They probably didn't tell you climbing numbers because it'd be scary :P
