Course Description

Starting with a short fire road climb, the course loops around Low Range which includes Roxy's Ramble. Leaving the event centre again the course steadily climbs up the beautifully put together Goat Track and Intestine Trail. When exiting Intestine the crux of the climb begins on the fire road. Steadily to begin with, then a false flat, with the final steep pinch where category placings will no doubt be decided. From here, the highest point, we have added a new section. We continue along the fire road to the start of Ev's. Hard left into Glock and do a short, steep descent, up the flatter sections of No More Secrets then turn hard left and climb the trail with no name. From here the real fun begins. Descend the initial sections of the intense No More Secrets, then onto the twisting trails of the Dirt Luge (youtube), Trail Fairy and then the trail that tops them all "SHELOBS REVENGE" (youtube). Shelobs is a lightning fast, super smooth piece of single trail that you will never forget. Complete with obstacles that can be taken at light speed with perfect flow that allows the fearless to put the brakes in the back pocket and enjoy the ride!!! The course then loops around to the event centre including a short pinchy climb that will make the legs scream and then enjoy the quality singles of the Twister (youtube). This course will prove popular with riders of all abilities. With only 144 metres elevation per lap, it is only as hard as you want to make it.
