We will head out for a build day at Del Rio this Saturday.
The track for the next round will be similar to the one we used for the 24 hour, but we will add some more singletrail to it. Will post pictures and a trailmap after the build. If you want to come along, check out the trails and give us a hand let me know: [email protected]

Final build day - we took the edge off the Rockgarden and put some smoother lines in there. The tracks are looking great at the moment and we hope that after we started building there 2 years ago we can finally show you what we had in mind when we chose the Del Rio Resort as a racevenue: family friendly with kid's playground, pub onsite, minigolf and a racetrack that is great fun yet challenging.

Registration will remain open until Wednesday night before the race.

At the 3rd round of our Rocky Trail MTB Grand Prix, Jenny Willis from B Star Event Massage will be at Del Rio, pampering you with short massages. They are $1 per minute (so $10 for 10 minutes, $15 for 15 minutes etc.) and will loosen up those muscles nicely for your next lap! The service will be offered between 7.30am and 3pm – just follow the smell of scented oils in the event centre! (wondering if there's a quick-fix for race directors too... haha) Eye-wink
