Media Release - Gillian Dobson / 06.02.2012

Over 300 competitors took part in a range of events across two disciplines: the All Mountain Cup and Gravity Cup. The All Mountain Cup saw riders compete in three cross-country events – the Super-D, which sees riders take a brake-burning descent down the iconic Delatite River Trail to the base of Mt Buller; the Olympic Format Cross-Country, a 5km course around the gruelling Corn Hill trails; and the Cross-Country Enduro, which saw riders tackle a 25km course incorporating Mt Buller’s signature wilderness trail, Stonefly.

Riders and spectators enjoyed sensational alpine summer weather, with blue skies and mild temperatures making for ideal race conditions.

Friday saw the first stage of the All Mountain Cup take place, with riders hitting the Delatite River Trail for the Super-D event. Josh Carlson and Jenni King took out the Elite men’s and women’s categories respectively, on a course that delighted riders and left them beaming as they reached Mirimbah Park at the base of the mountain.
