Just 4 months till the next edition of the R&R Sport Vulcaniser - also the final round of the all new South Island XC Cup Series!

This year the event is being run by an enthusiastic group from the McQueen's Valley
Mountainbike Club.

It's going to be great - 19-20 January - mark your diary now! :thumbsup:

Entry forms for the Vulcaniser can be obtained from this site

From the BikeNZ Website:

The rider popular Vulcaniser course will again be the host for this event, and in a multi-lap format at Mt Vulcan Station. Hilly, open paddocks, grassy slopes, native gulleys and valleys and technical singletrack, this venue has it all. Not much opportunity to rest is a hallmark of the Vulcaniser course with the sudden switches from climbing to descending.

Location: Reeces Rd off SH1 at Omihi

The organising committee had a good planning meeting last night to finalise lots of details and we will be updating the Vulcaniser page of our website over the next few days.

Also look out for today's big announcement...

Wicked

It'd be worth travelling down just to do the Final of the South Island Cup!

Thanks to XC_Snail we now have a promo video up on vorb --> http://www.vorb.org.nz/video-view-75672.html

The original is very cool but this one has lost resolution in the compression stage but still good

Yeah, the 19-39 age groups in expert men will race with the guns. And, yes, fewer laps (5 instead of 6). Except those with leftys - they have to do 13 laps.
