Social tour of Smithy Trails by Glen Jacobs / Gravitate 2012 After Party.
Social tour of Smithy Trails by Glen Jacobs / Gravitate 2012 After Party.
It’s been a long week. Your legs are burning, bruises turning purple, bike screaming “mercy”…. Well tough luck. As one final hoorah, finish the week with a warm-down.
Meeting at the JCU Boathouse, Glen Jacobs will lead a social ride through-out the Smithfield MTB Park. His home, his herritage, his creating.
From the earliest conception, through world-class events, the ups, downs… All the facts and numbers and legends… Glen will impart a lifetime of stories and knowledge gained during his 20 years being involved with the park.
On freshly laid trail, meander through rainforest, pines, scrub… This is the perfect way to end a week of incredible riding.
Then to cap it off, roll down to the University BoatHouse cafe/bar for the Gravitate 2012 afterparty. Grab a drink, a bite to eat… And begin the process of exagerating all the stories made and had during the week. Wind down as the sun sets over one of Australia’s first and premiere MTB Park destinations.
Gravitate 2012. It’s been great having you along for the ride. See you in 2013!
