Today, Tuesday 30th November, will be our last XCountry MTB practice, before next weeks Champs.
Race will start at 5.15 at the usual spot on the Papua waterfall road, about 300m in from the main road, right next to the Sheraton.
For new riders - there will be an "easy" ride over the course for familiarity, prior to race.
This practice will again be an individual one, with 3x laps for the experienced; 2x laps for the novelists; and 1x lap for the young ones. Each lap is 2.5km.
As mentioned this is the last chance for you to get familiar with the circuit before next weeks championships on 7th December, which will determine this year's 2021 MTB TANE & VAINE CHAMPIONS. However, it is also for those who want to participate with others for the fun of it.
If anyone doesn't want to ride but would like to officiate, we would welcome your assistance. You can contact Kevin on 50120 or Geoff on 74330.
