Action Packed 2022

By February 22, 2022News

Welcome to Cairns Mountain Bike club for 2022- Below is a overview of all things going on in 2022

This Year the club isnt going to run a season for each disciple and award trophies and prize money at the end of the season, but each  race will be stand alone, with random prizes possible to win for all riders in each race

Events – Enduro- Downhill- Cross County

 

Enduro

Enduro this year will have separate events for evey one to get involved
Saturday’s having the Womens only Enduro
Saturdays having the kids/new riders Enduro
Sundays having the Normal full course Enduro for Experienced riders

Format for 2022

This year we are running a more chilled approach to racing by setting riders 5 hours to complete 3 stages ,that you can do in any order ,at anytime and  as many times as you want in the 5 hours,
So you can take it super chill and get a group of mates together and have a fun ride, or get serious and re do stages if you make a mistake to see if you get a better time, only the fastest time counts

There will be a extra stage for U17 – U19- Elite- Masters- Veterans, that will be announced at the riders briefing on race day, sticking to the spirit of enduro by offering a stage the rider will race without practice and only once
