GENERAL INFORMATION

With a focus on fun and race participation we will all ride together and self seed for starting segments. Leaving a gap for timing between riders as required. With only the downhill sections timed you don’t have to be super ride fit, just fit enough and practiced on these stages.

It’s recommended that you wear full gloves, knee pads/ elbows covered (long sleeves) and a full face helmet.

Note : ( full face highly recommended for safety - but if you can't get one in time we understand - reachout to the club)

Race day will finish with a party & presentation and lucky entry prizes if you race! So come and join in the fun, and bring your mates to spectate.

Race Stage Layout: As follows

FUNDURO STYLE - STAGE RACE WHERE WE ALL RIDE TOGETHER

Our First trial of the timing boxes was a fun one.... So Lets try them on multiple stages??? Fastest overall time wins Timed segments ONLY on the DOWNS!!! yay We all ride together in a social group to get to the start of each stage.

COMPETITIVE DOES AN EXTRA (4TH) STAGE - BUT WE'LL WAIT FOR YOU AND CHEER YOU ON FIRST.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

COMPETITIVE QUEEN STAGE - ROCKY DINGO TOP TO OCEAN VIEW

STAGE 1 - CENTIPEDE - Centipede was our practice run & is riding so well so let's keep it in.

Starting up at top of centipede descent - a fast flowy refurbished smooth descending trail with some tight berms and corners and rollers, Ride the full trail take the last exit left at the end to finish before the bridge - FULL TRICKY ENDING THIS TIME

STAGE 2 - BOTTOM OF PIPELINE

Starting at the top of Barramundi climb - Dropping onto bottom of Pipeline - make the most of those last few corners and finish on the straight before you drop out onto the road.

STAGE 3 - STINGERS CUSCUS

This is the challenge for most of you - but we will practice before the day - decision will be made by consensus before after practice on final course directions to encourage most participation.
