Plus we'll be investigating whether the Coriolis Effect real as JG and myself will simultaneously flush our toilets on opposite sides of the globe.

But will you run while you're there?

Will you have kangaroo burritos?

Can’t imagine anything worse than flying to Australia and going to Bathurst. Anyway might see you out there if you’re around Sunday

The Coriolis Effect does not apply to small-scale phenomena like the draining of toilets and sinks. In both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, some drain clockwise and some counterclockwise.

Rojo, in Australia it's known as the dunny.
Anyway, if you really want to test the Coriolis effect use the plug hole in the sink rather than the dunny as in mine it just gets flushed straight down. 💩🚽🧻

Flying to Australia is fine. However, Bathurst is a hole and the worst representation of an otherwise satisfactory country.
Will be praying for you Jonathan, from 30 miles away in neighbouring Orange.

I’m still completely baffled as to why, out of everywhere they could have held it in Australia or NSW, they settled on Bathurst and this course

Will they really? It would mean effort, missing naps and missing valuable TV time.

For us non-antipodeans could you explain in detail about Bathurst?

There is nothing to explain about Bathurst. It’s a mid size regional town famous for its motor racing track and annual race. Other than that is has nothing really going for it.
The XC course is at the base of this track, traversing what? Car parks, vineyards and farms and some empty blocks of land..? It’s a 2k loop. Like a links course in some amazing spot couldn’t have given up a few holes to create a 2k loop. Like there aren’t already courses around in better spots than Bathurst.
They've parked this event for so long, they could have moved it to a much better spot. Anyway, it’s here, it is what it is…

Should have run this in Burbank.

Course looks amazing to me. Have you ever seen a vineyard? Jonathan Gault's first piece from Australia includes a course tour.

Good article but the course looks stupid. It’s insanely hilly, has a mud and sand pit, and has obstacles intentionally placed to make it slower.
Why can’t they host it at Van Cortlandt? That’d be a tough but fair course.12
