Hi Dean

 

Will post a full description if Stage 1 as soon as its finished.. we need to cut some overgrowth still and want it to be a totally clear before guys head out.

Was this not part of last years stages?

 

Last years stages and this years stages start at the Firetower... they almost always will as its the highest point 

 

Everything from the Gums/Pines spilt is different to last years stage

Quick poll/question....

 

We thinking of offering a "Ballies and Brats" team option for the Enduro. Basically what that means is that a team will consist of an adult and a youngster (u16) who ride individually but whose times are added/combined. The fastest team wins a prize on the day.

 

Think this is a good way to get some Dads off the couch and some kids away from the TV ?

Good news...I think ;)

 

Clearing of Stage 3 of the Enduro route is going well and should be done by Friday. I will then post the a map and description and open it for riding/practice. 

 

I have decided to release Stage 3 before Stage 2 as Stage 2 has some exposed sections which need to be brushcut.. and because they are exposed the undergrowrth re-grows very quickly. I am trying to avoid brushcutting/clearing to only have to go back and re-do it all just before the event.
