Details:

The VAUDE Highland Fling is a mountain bike marathon to challenge you all. It offers a scenic and challenging route through forests and farmland in the Southern Highlands of NSW. A mix of singletrack, forest tracks, dirt road and less than 2km of blacktop.

Do the Full Fling (approx 110km), the Half Fling (approx 55km), the relay Flinging Threesomes or take an even bigger challenge on the 100 Mile Fling!

The main race is on Sunday 9 November but there's plenty happening on Saturday 8 too, including the Bundanoon Dash, a fundraising 6km 'sprint' race (it's not compulsory!).

In 2008 we will also introduce the Casual Fling, a 16km ride for those feeling not up to the Half or Full Fling.

Entries will open Jun 23rd at http://wildhorizons.com.au/highlandfling/index.html

Fling pre-race registration & accommodation

Submitted by Nick R on Thu, 03/07/2008 - 13:17.

Apparently this year you cannot register on the morning of the race (we double checked with Huw at Wild Horizons). See draft schedule:

http://www.wildhorizons.com.au/highlandfling/about.html

Therefore everyone needs to register on the Saturday (the pre-race registration desk is open until 11pm) and stay in the Southern Highlands overnight. As a result all the accommodation in Bundanoon is getting booked out very quickly in line with the number of people signing up.

We will camp overnight and talk it up beforehand. See last years photos for more details.
