Track Team
We have an outstanding track team that put in hundreds of hours to ensure the track is in excellent condition for competition, community and school use throughout the year. The event wouldn't be a success without them. Thanks to Craig Isbister alongside Brent Stuart and his Crosscut Construcution team!

8 hour loop
Epic 7.7km loop to test agility, strength and speed! This track takes you from wide open pastures through forest tracks with a few tricky jumps and lines that will boost confidence on each run.
Energy Map
The 8 hour loop energy map gives rider an idea of intensity for those with moderate to high fitness. Some of us may see a lot more red!
Family Loop
The Family loop is a 1.9km loop, over farm tracks and specially designed bike track. The track has been constructed with little wheels in mind, with a reasonable gravel/dirt surface and no really tricky bits. There is a wee hill to go up (about 18 metres of elevation for the technically minded) but kids can push their bikes up that bit if they need to.
