Press Release - Summit Events / 08.10.2008

Entries are limited to ensure minimal impact on the fragile environment that the course traverses. There are 200 places for individual riders with their own support crew and 50 places for individual riders selecting the Support Package provided by the organisers. With the event already 10% full, it is expected to sell out well before early bird entries close on 1st December.

The course has just been released and will include six stages over the five days. When designing the course the Summit Events team have focused on bringing you the best mountain biking available in the area. Course designer Craig Bycroft explains “the beauty of this format of mountain bike racing is that we have been able design the course around the best mountain bike tracks in the area. This has enabled us to keep the stages relatively short allowing plenty of time to explore this gorgeous part of the country” The course covers just under 200km with 99% of it being on dirt.
