Event:
2010 NSW MTBO Sprint
2010 NSW MTBO SuperSeries 8
A fast and furious bike navigation event! Winning times around 25 minutes; longer for newcomers and those who want to smell the daisies!!
You'll ride fire trails; you'll ride singletrack; you'll even get to ride BMX style in the gravel pits! There'll be options to 'hike-a-bike' and to walk/run with your bike along marked short-cut routes. And we've even arranged for a sprint down the airstrip to the finish line!!
If you think you know Wingello, then think again. This event will have you wondering why you've never seen it like this before!
