Race start 10am
You will get 6hrs and one lap.

Pit lane
Each team or racer will be allocated an area marked out in the pit lane / transition area. The pit lane will be part of the race track and where teams transition. These will be allocated on a first in, best spot basis - so be early. Team members will need to pass the ‘baton’

What to bring
A bike that will get you to the end of a 6hr race- the Super D format is neither a DH or XC race but something in-between - the ideal bike is a 4-6inch travel all-mountain bike
Be warned - there is some uphill.

Bring parts that you may need – there is a bike shop on the mountain and Outside Sport will have a mechanic on duty with supplies during the day, but be sure to bring anything that may break - hangers, brake pads, tyres and tubes.
Eyes wear goggles or glasses.

Protection –injury
I strongly recommend some form of knee protection!!!

Food and water
This is a tough race and you will need plenty of food to get through the 6hrs.
We will have food and coffee available in the pit lane -

Shelter
Be prepared for hot and cold and windy.. Some type of shelter or clothing for when you’re not racing is a must. Easy ups or tents are ideal.

After the race
Prize giving will be about 5.00pm Skyline Restaurant
