The Track

We're working on the race route being at least 9km in length. This has included building some new trails, refurbishing old trails and giving everything else a polish. 

The route will encompass trails on the eastern side of The Piney, close to Pine Forest Road, with some of the old favorites no longer available to ride due to the recent active forest management. But the route will be fun with enough added spice for all skill levels. 

More details on the race route will be available leading into the event.

Prizes

There will be prizes for category winners, with more details to follow.
