About the Event
48km Mountain Bike
Based around the 42 Traverse track, known to many mountain bikers as one of the (if not the) best one day mountain bike trails in the country. The mountain bike event will start on a private Landcorp farm to the south west of the start of the 42 Traverse track. Thanks to the very generous Landcorp farmers for providing us with a great start section to get you to the 42 Traverse track. No more state highway and no more gravel road sections, just excellent gravel tracks, a fast farm section, and a scenic private road!
The 42 Traverse is a historic logging road – undulating (but overall, more down than up) with a few (but not many) technical bits and a handful of short river crossings. In summary… it’s awesome! The event will finish (along with all of the other event options) in the Owhango township…
