Hey all,
heads up

Of late me has spent a chunk of time on the far far far nsw south coast
Coming up mid june on the long weekend is there mtb enduro race,

I have pedalled there a heap of times and despite the numerous hellos to snakes, wallabies many goannas' and one echidna ( how good is mountain biking ) just cant get enough of the single track,

Ill let you guys suss it all out, but i can tell you it is a sweet lil spot where you do your session and within shuffling distance is beers, burgers and crystal clear waters at the beach

here some links

cheers josh

Sounds awesome I need an excuse to get back down that way, have you done any of the race's I am curious about the difference between the 50 & 75 aside from the obvious kms does the 75 get extra single-track?

Hey commandokamikaze,
Sadly not as yet i havn't done the actual race / enduro
( but this year i hope to volunteer in someway )

50km strava link
https://www.strava.com/segments/11623753

75km strava link
https://www.strava.com/segments/11623751

the 50 kay race

stage 1 "start loop", road & fire-trail approx 8km'
(i would imagine that eliminates a massive amount of any traffic jam when you hit the single track )

stage 2 "bundadung" loop huge amount of singletrack
im no expert but would describe it as more peaky climbs & descents aspect of race
cross the main road into
stage 3 "fireshed" loop huge amount singletrack more undulating flowy
cross the main road again
stage 4 your offically back on the bundadung side making your way back to start/finish event centre flatish then easing downhill

the 75 kay race
as above but
stage 5
another loop of "bundadung"

any other questions, fire away happy to help
cheers josh

Thanks Josh,

If the misses can get the long weekend off work I am there! Just tossing up between the 75 & the 50 at the moment. Might catch you there!
