Date: <\/strong>Sunday 3 June 2018
\nEvent:<\/strong>\u00a0NPS XC Round 2
\nVenue:<\/strong>\u00a0Slade Valley
\nHost club:<\/strong>\u00a0IMBRC<\/p>\n

Course Description:<\/strong>
\nCourse length approx. 5.6k which is a combination of the 2014 & 2017 NPS loop incorporating the fabulous Old DH trail with its rolling features which also allows for the opportunity to fine tune your tail whips should you choose. The harsh winter has impacted the sometime challenging Bomb hole to the extent that the course will now use last year’s B- Line as the main route which lead into the lung busting aptly named V02 Max climb to the start finish area. The remaining sections are combined of fast flowy single track with a few shorter technical sections. Lap includes approximately 800m of fire road and 180m climbing per lap.<\/p>\n

The youth\u2019s course will be located close by the start finish area and a 6-8 min walk from the main parking field.<\/p>\n
