Location Belanglo State Forest
Description

The final event in the 2011/2012 DuO Adventure Series will be held in the Belanglo State Forest on Sunday 22nd April. The event headquarters and the start will be at Belanglo House. Overnight accommodation and camping will be available.

The main foot stages will be conducted in the area known as The Piggery. This was part of the Paddy Pallin 6 hour course last year.This is a challenging area to navigate in with open creek and gully areas, rocky outcrops and cliff lines with some slow forest in between.

The MTB area will include open and generally flat pine plantation areas with forest trails and single tracks skirting the area and a few gullies and climbs thrown in.

 

COURSE FORMAT

The event will be a line course for both foot and bike stages using the SportIdent (SI) system. There will be three separate foot stages of around 1.5 to 3 km in length which you will navigate to by bike, then leave your bike while you pick up the foot controls.While you are on the bike legs, there will also be several controls located 50m to 150m from the tracks which you will visit on foot. Your bike will be left on the trail for the short run to the control in the bush.

There will be plenty of variety in the course with the added route selection and planning of the numerous short foot stages. If you want to tackle the course at a gentle pace there will be plenty of opportunity to stretch your legs on the foot stages.

COURSE LENGTH

Long course - Approx 26km MTB and 4km on foot ( 2.5 to 4 hours duration )

Short course - Approx 16km MTB and 3km on foot (2 to 4 hours duration )

Entries will also be taken to compete in the MTBO Stage of the event only.

There will be a water drop just over mid way through the course. You will need to carry sufficient water and food to get you around the course. Platform pedals on the bike are recommended due to the number of transitions from bike to foot.
This event will be a great end to the inaugural DuO Adventure Series.

TIMING

Starts available between 9.00am and 10.30 am. Course closes 2.30 pm
