Homage to Ice 3 April 2011

An early start to a great 2011 riding season. After rave reviews ins 2010 we are starting things off with what is sure to be a fun day of dusting off the cob webs, re-connecting with the bike community and a great bbq. One or two laps of the 25k cross country circuit is enough to get everyone smiling.

This race starts with some double track and forest road to let people spread out and find their own pace, then heads into the single track around 6k in. It is fast and flowing with no rocks and lots of fun. The course is 65% single track and the last 2k are downhill to the line. 

See the Technical Guide for more details.
