Details:

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

There is also the Casual Fling, a 14km Participation (untimed) Ride for those not feeling up to taking on the races above. An opportunity for those new to mountain biking or those less fit than they’d like to be, to get on a bike at the Fling.

The main racing is on Sunday 10th November but there’s plenty happening on Saturday 9th too including the Rolloff World Championships, the Bundanoon Dash, (including The Battle of The Businesses) a fundraising 6km ‘sprint’ race (it’s not compulsory!) along with entertainment, food & drink, gear displays, demos, Kids MTB Skills Course and more.

yes indeed there was a lot of washing and cleaning to do after this one.

Hobbling around injured in the freezing cold rain trying to pack up the campsite and wondering how to clean the muddy bike to put into the back of the car.. perhaps not the fondest moment of this weekend?

Ok weather man.. good joke.. very funny! if I'm a good boy next year can I please book in fling weather like 2011 and 2012.. they were crackers!
