Event Description

Sunday 22nd Nov 2009
UK MTB TRI
HAMSTERLEY FOREST Mountain Bike Duathlon

Run: 4K (Trail)
Bike: 27K (MTB)
Run: 8K (Trail)

The Hamsterley route is half of the existing black route returning on the orange walk and a short section on the forest drive. The bike will be 3 laps of approximately 9k. The run is the Yellow walk. The first run is one lap and the second is 2.

Although the mountain bike trail is designated as black it presents no greater difficulty than the red routes used in previous races. The most difficult technical parts of the course are due to large roots across the trails. This route was used as a cross country mountain bike race course for several years before becoming the marked trail.

Camping will be available at the Woodcraft Hamsterley Forest Outdoor Centre which we will be taking over for the weekend.
