My wife is worrying about her cyclist cutoff time. Is there one? If so, what is it? Mind you, I think she'll do the 40kms in about 1:15-1:20 (AVS 31-21kmh) so even if I don't start till last, surely she'll be OK? Link to post Share on other sites

dazmuzza 198 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) My wave is 45 minutes later than last year. This time I'm at around 8am. I'm in the 'heavy dudes' cat. If I switched to my age cat, I get a 45 minute earlier start as well. Wonder if its worth going earlier? Edited October 18, 2018 by dazmuzza Link to post Share on other sites

Lufcbully 1 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Hi all, over from England and racing noosa for the first time, what are the expo's like? Looking to get a new pair of goggles for it and wondering wether to get a pair before or get a pair there. Hoping it's not a wetsuit swim too as I'll have to buy /hire one!

Mate I wouldn't buy my goggles the day before a race if I were you, esp a 1.5 k open water swim. Those are something I'd want to have tested a few times and be pretty use to before race day. The expo is good, a lot of the new and latest things, and a lot of hype too. Noosa is great though, you'll love it. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites

chappy019 23 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Pretty smart marketing I would have thought. Willing to guarantee that Foher sell more singlets and race suits by offering hair braiding than Canyon do Speedmax's by having Lange's bike there! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rocket Salad 1,163 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 The new "in" place to eat is Noosa Junction. Some great restaurants have opened up there in the last 12 months. All are on the cheaper side. Link to post Share on other sites
goughy 3,738 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Is your idea of cheaper and my idea of cheaper the same? Is the junction better than it used to be? Used to remind me a bit too much of Toowoomba, but I guess I was parking a Kingswood there back then. And there was no Sheraton down at the heads. Link to post Share on other sites
Ex-Hasbeen 8,122 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 My in-laws had a holiday house at Peregian Beach, and we always went to the Junction. More variety in cuisine rather than just expensive crap along Hasting St that would leave you hungry. I didn't mind the Mexican that used to be upstairs on Hasting, but other than that it would be the Junction. Link to post Share on other sites
