Mountain Bike Racing comes to the Snowies

Max Adventure - Geocentric Outdoors - Press Release / 08.05.2008

The staged mountain bike race will be held over 5 days including 8 stages. Each day will start in a new town within the region. The course will include some of the countries best mountain bike trails. The tracks will be a combination of new and existing single track and fire trails in the Kosciuszko National Park and surrounding areas. The area is famous for its mountains, rivers, lakes and stunning scenery.

This annual event will “tour” the Snowy Mountains Region. Each day will comprise one or two stages before participants continue on to a new town (or “overnight stop”) for the night. Stages will range from short 8km time trails to longer 60km marathon legs. Stages and host towns will be announced six months before the event.

Riders will be able to choose to bring their own support crew or have the race organisers move their bike and equipment at the end of each stage to the start of the next stage or overnight stop (unsupported package).

Each stage is timed and the overall male and female winner will have the lowest cumulative time at the end of the eight stages.

We are in the process of designing the course and approaching sponsors. If your organization is interested in being involved with the event contact: gary@maxadventure.com.au Mbl: 0403 820282
