South Island Cup - Cross Country Round 1
Date: Sun 9th, December 2007
Location: Arrowsmith Station, Lake Heron

Round one of the new South Island Cup (formerly the National Series).

[CLICK HERE] for entry information.

A 42km course on the very scenic Mt Arrowsmith Station, Lake Heron, Canterbury (just tucked in behind Mt Somers). The course heads up the Cameron Valley, nearly to the source of the river, up and over a high saddle, down into the South Ashburton Valley and then back down to the finish via a long undulating valley ride and a small saddle. The course uses rough 4WD tracks and involves a couple of decent climbs, the first of which is reasonably steep in places and quite long, and also a very cool boulder scree crossing. Stunning mountain location with fantastic close-up views of the South Ashburton and Cameron Glaciers and Southern Alps.

Contact Simon Hampton at methvenrace[at]xtra.co.nz, or on 03 302 1822 or 027 274 6573. This is an awesome adventure course and should be on every rider's to-do list!

They also have a smaller recreational course this year for family, supporters or recreational riders (see website for details). Pre-entry closes on 30 November. More details, entry form, course map, photos etc are on their new website: www.arrowsmithmtb.ashburtononline.co.nz

(information from www.mountainbike.orcon.net.nz).
