Division 1Division 2Division 3

Well we now have 3 divisions well and truly underway and are starting to see some diversions in navigation choices! No team is yet to cross Kings Hwy but they will soon be there!

Div 1:

Griffin is still setting a cracking pace, flying down Lyons Rd towards Currowan Camp, maybe they will break 12 hrs!

BnG have chosen to take Wallaby Rd instead of following Griffin down Lyons. As noted for Div 3, these two options are about equivalent but in any case neither option is ideal. Ursies & Wamba have followed them along this route.

Johns Bruce and Lodge instead took Old Mines Rd, which was the course setters favoured choice, this seems to have paid off as they are moving well and are catching some of the Div 2 & 3 teams.

Burgmann decided (perhaps wisely) to not continue along the River Rd and they are now also making their way towards Currowan Camp, however I think they may have lost time on Lodge and co.

Fenner have continued down the River Rd and joined their Div 2 team, hopefully we'll see them at Hwy Crossing 3 soon enough!

Wright just keep chugging along towards Nelligen, they didn't opt for a shorter bush bash under some powerlines but have chose to stick to the trails. It's hard to see how their route will compare with other teams at this point but on paper, it is ideal so don't Wright them off!

Div 2:

Wright seem to have taken the lead in Div 2 after BnG missed the cutoff to Pillar Rd. Let's hope they don't keep heading south or they'll run straight into an exclusion zone! Inward BOETS is hot on Wright's tail and Fenner & Bruce are a little ways back, seemingly back on track!

On the northern side, Griffin & Old Fenner lead Ursies, Johns & Burg down Clyde Ridge Rd towards Hwy Crossing 1. Interestingly, Burg followed some Div 1 teams down Old Mines Rd, maybe they misread the exclusion zone 🤷‍♂️

Div3:

Griffin is currently leading the bulk of the division down Clyde Ridge Rd, maybe they've been spurred on by their Div 1 team...

YKB is the only team to have taken a different route, opting for Wallaby Rd. This seems to be about even and it looks like most of Div 3 will cross Kings Hwy at a similar time.

Div 4:

I hear that Div 4 will be dropped any moment now, keep an eye out for that too!
