’12 hours of non stop mountain bike action’
RACE INFORMATION
WHERE: HANMER SPRINGS, NORTH CANTEBURY
DATE: Saturday, April 5th 2008
The Ground Effect 12 Hour Day/Nighter combines great mountain biking with the incomparable atmosphere created by several hundred-mountain bikers racing & socializing together for 12 hours solid.
We guarantee you the best mountain biking around on the 9km (approx) loop course – it is a combination of excellent single & 4WD tracks through beech forest.
Ride Solo or get some mountain biking mates, work colleagues, or family together and enter a team (you may have a minimum of 3 & maximum of 5 riders in each team). Be relaxed or be competitive but whatever you choose, this event is not to be missed!!
You will start & finish each lap of the course from the Horse Paddock, Pawsons Road (left turn off Jollies Pass Rd just past the DOC buildings). Despite its name we assure you this venue is brilliant – heaps of room, shelter & only 1.5km from down town Hanmer Springs, Thermal Hot Pools & right on the edge of the forest.
