XC: Alpine Energy 12 Hour Day/night Mtb Race

Postby spevents on Thu 7/Aug/08 11:04am

Alpine Energy 12 Hour Day/Night MTB Race

Ride hard out or ride for fun!

Entries open 1 August. Experience the best 12 hour race this side of the black stump (and maybe the other side as well).

Your mission - cover as many laps as possible during 12 hours of riding. Ride as a team or for those wanting the ultimate challenge, as a Solo Rider.

Located in Timaru - Centennial Park is good fun, undulating terrains, a few sharp but short climbs and nothing overly technical, perfect for longer races and suitable for all levels of mountain bikers. No big hills, and it's usually warm, fine weather.

12 midday to 12 midnight - cool transition camp area, heaps of spot prizes, live music and huge breakfast all included.

You can enter the Day/night as part of a team or ride solo. Solo riders can choose the 6 hour option or for the ultimate challenge ride for 12 hours. All teams have up to 5 riders, racing relay style for the full 12 hours.

:pmob: I missed this one last year, but did it the 2 hours preceding. The course is surprisingly fun - I have always enjoyed this event!

Yeah, it's a pity it's the same weekend as the Makara Peak Supporters 10th Birthday Bash, and round 4 of the PNP MTB series :( Would've been keen to fly down and enter.

:pmob: It has some fast flowy stuff and some super cool single track and more than enough to catch the unaware out. Definitely fun.

When I say hours, I actually mean years.

I will be racing in Welly that weekend as well.

Hi Some folks have been having trouble entering on-line. I am not sure why this is as other entries are going through OK. Email me if you cannot get it to work.
