FOX
Biraban, Little Falcon into Red Loop, access from the event centre via Mt Faulk Road, go past the EWS start and traverse towards Fox Start.
STANS
Its recommended to do this track after you’ve done the Fox track (follow the signs) – from the Fox finish it’s a short climb to the start of the Wild Polly track. Start at the Rocky Trail sign. Ride back to the event centre via the Red Loop.
LAZER
We race Faulk line, access from the event centre via Mt Faulk Road fire road – please note this track had to be re-built because of the recent wet weather and still has some very soft patches. Please watch out on your first runs.
MTB DIRECT TRACK – PRO STAGE
1 run needs to be recorded (fastest counts)
If you race on Sunday and select to be in the PRO Stage you will need to do at least 1 run on the 4th track. It will be on the lower section of the Monkey Downhill trail and a full face helmet is compulsory for this stage.
Un-timed Liaisons: some will use Mt Faulk Road.. This is a Public Road, please ride up on the left!
Get a taste for it… Local Lines with Ryan Gilchrist
