Course
Along the riverside bridle track and native bush Esplanade trails. The trails are a mixture of lime, gravel and tar seal pathways. It is mostly flat single trail, with some undulations.
The course is contained all within the bushy part of the Esplanade, which means more laps for everyone but the young ones, so more times past Mum & Dad.
To enter
This is being organised by the Manawatu MT Bike club and entries will be via their site.
Registrations are OPEN!
