2023 Race Stages TBC
Racers will return to the bottom (event hub area) after stages 1, 4, 5 & 6.
- Drinking water will be provided at the bottom of stages 2 & 3.
- Shuttles are provided by TMB only and are included in your entry.
NO self shuttling will be allowed for safety and fairness. - Rider numbers capped at 300 so if you’re serious get your entries in early! If you miss out the entry platform will still take your entry, but not charge you, and automatically add you to the waiting list.
- Some categories are able to do the + stage 6 option for an additional. Stage 6 is the elite track, most difficult. There is a maximum of 4 shuttles and no additional shuttles will be provided if you choose to ride stage 6. On race day you will be able to get a time on stage 6 BUT you will still be in your series category for the event and your stage 6 time will not impact on your category position. This is aimed at giving the riders of non-elite categories the opportunity to ride the elite track, whilst still being in their series category for the overall. There will be a cut off time at the end of stage 5 for non elite riders doing stage 6.
- The e-MTB is a race category for e-mtb’s that comply with the Australian Standard for an electric power assisted mtb’s. We hope this will provide a race weekend for e-mtber’s to race with their mates on either mtb’s or e-mtb’s.
- For safety and fairness we riders must also ride the designated liasons.
Please note: Full-face helmets are mandatory. Protective equipment as per Aus cycling requirements for Gravity
