Sssshhhh!
While there may be no Wildside next year, Pete and Nic haven't been idle and have put together the QLR (Quiet Little Ride) - Tasmania’s first Endurance MTB event on the East Coast! to be held on Saturday November 4th 2006.
Course Description
The course starts at Meetus Falls (approx 650m) then winds up through the Snow Hill Forest Reserve on forestry roads reaching an altitude of near 950m before the track turns towards the coast and begins to descend. Exciting 4WD tracks , river crossings, sheep tracks , sharp climbs on tight ridgelines and long rolling descents in spectacular country lead to the finish near sea level at the historic “Glen Gala” farmhouse in Cranbrook.
Highlights
* 65 km point to point!
* 1300 metres of total vertical descent! Start the event with new brake pads or else!
* Social get-together / music / BBQ on the Sat night at the finish.
* Low cost camping beside the Swan River available at the finish.($10 per person)
* Shuttle bus available from Cranbrook to race start. Cost will be
$10 - $20 per person pending on numbers that use the service. To help us
plan and ensure you have a spot on the bus, please phone Pete or Nic to
reserve your spot
* Lots of prizes and giveaways.
* A fun yet challenging event brought to you by the organisers of WILDSIDE MTB.
