My only query is the 4 hour wait for the first lot of shuttlers, surely they could start earlier and stagger it a bit more? But sounds like a mint event

This event is perfectly suited to riders of all abilities and skill levels on trail bikes. Entry includes a swim at the Blue Baths (between the Museum and the Polynesian Spa).
This is the first time this event has been run, so be part of the inaugural race. |
