The Track

The Shimano GP Start will be on the “Bottom Power Line Track” and climb up “Sour Power” to the Event Hub. From the Event Hub onto “Golden Rough” and across the link to go back up “Honey Comb”. Riders will traverse “Milky Way” (limited passing opp) to the start of “Syrup”. On “Syrup” after about 200m break out left back onto “Milky Way” to climb to the start of “Sweet Sugar” (an excellent passing opportunity). We will use the full “Sweet Sugar” and when complete cross back over to the second section of “Syrup” before again climbing the “Milky Way” (another good passing opp) to the start of “Party Mix”. Complete all of “Party Mix” proceed onto “Fantales” (more passing ops) to the “Bottom Power Line Track”. From the “Bottom Power Line Track” cut onto” Willy Wonka”. At the “gateway” bridge join the lower section of “Bees Knees” before climbing “Sour Power” will get you back to the Event Hub to complete the 9.5km course.

Sustainability

Our Sustainability Pledge is that we encourage our racers to follow some simple tips to ‘tread softly’ when visiting the bush and minimise damage to the natural environment. In summary, when you attend our events, please take only memories, immerse yourself into nature, enjoy spending time with like-minded people on ‘rocky trails’ and please, leave only footprints and tyre marks on the sanctioned trails and in the event perimeter marked out, if you’re a racer.
