Bahahah.

One Lap of single track with loadsa climb. Anticipated Winners Time 2.5hrs

This is a technical course. Please enter the appropriate course for your riding and fitness level.

sooo there is only one course to choose from, but you should enter the appropriate course??

i take it there are going to be some "easier" options coming along as well.

[XCguy]

I assume so. From what I understand the main loop is one that incorporates all the sweet Hanmer singletrack. Doesn't get sweeter than that!

I am guessing the easier options will be a smaller loop. I (or someone from Hanmer) will post more when more details are released

Even you should have a crack at this one Zane

If they include "Deliverance" as one of the tracks I may show some interest

You do realise that out of the 6 or so bikes in my shed, not even one of them is remotely close to being set up for racing

Probably will have gears at that time of the year but I don't think I'll be putting up much of a challenge

[XCguy]

I had a chat to Graham (organiser) at the Rec Expo today and he said there is only one loop.

But he assures me that loop will be full of awesomeness goodness

And good to hear sandbagger Nick is racing

i rode the course yesterday, definately felt the pinch coming back up to flax gully after a couple of hours.the course includes yankee zypher which has been rebuilt since being logged a few years ago.i imagine the course in full will be on the hanmerevents website in the next few days. this race is a must if you enjoy hanmers finest singletrack, oh and theres over 1100 metres of climbing
