It's a short track regularly in the local DH race series called Emano Street, I don't know any of the details of this racing of it though... It's good for beginners, and people who don't have full on DH bikes often do well, but it is still good on a big bike. Steep and bermy with a few jumps/drops. I think more details will be released when the entries open on July 1st, still plenty of time to get your plans sorted for October after that anyway I guess.

It seems a bit strange having a race on the coppermine track when there's already an established one in February. I'll probably still do it anyway.

wanted to go but im at school it sucks

Awesome event. Now I need to try and get the stars to align and come down with a bike or two for a hammer.

Which bikes? How long? So much to think about!

Just under a month to go for anyone not already organised! Entry and ride/race details are of course all online at the website now: http://www.nelsoncyclefest.co.nz/ It's shaping up to be a great week, see you there!
