Round 2 is fast approaching! Get amped for an action packed weekend with the Cairns Mountain Bike Club!

Same schedule for the weekend;
-Saturday May 25th | Enduro
-Sunday May 26th | DH

Enduro course for Round 2 has been tweaked a bit, but promises to be just as challenging!
Stage 1 will follow the same course as the first round (Bottom of Rocky Dingo to the bottom of Caterpillars via Myndas and Jacobs Ladder.)
Stage 2 will run from the top of Pines through to the old Dirt Bowl, via the XC Trailhead.
Stage 3 will run from up the lower section of the DH access road, through to the club site, via Cuss Cuss and MP39.

Same start time as the last round, Riders are expected to be registered with plates collected no later than 2:45pm, with riders/course briefing at 3PM sharp. Riders all make their way over to the start of Stage 1 where the first rider leaves at 3:30pm.
For those unaware, of the Enduro format, all riders are given a unique start list for the 3 timed stages, where they are required to be at the start of each stage ready to go. Each stage is timed, and when the last rider crosses the finish, the winner is the rider with the lowest combined time over the three stages!
Transit times are very relaxed, and offer the chance to fix a flat or attend minor mechanical issues while still leaving enough time to hurry to your next stage start! A full briefing will be given on the day.

Downhill is back, and along with it the brand-new racing format. Proven to be a hit with Round 1, we are holding morning practice from 8-10am whereby anytime after it is an ‘open-hill’. You can go up and log a timed run whenever you like, as many times as you like. No pressure, no sitting around at the top… Times are live and displayed on a large screen where you can monitor your run times; what your fastest time is and where you are currently standing in your category against all the other riders! Racing stops at 2:30pm so it is up to you whether you want to dial 2 super clean, concentrated timed runs or hope for the best and punch out as many timed runs as you can manage. Strategy plays a big role now!

A huge hand for Larry and the team at Discovery Cycles for getting the series up to where it is. We have a big swag of awesome prizes and medals to be given out all year to the category leaders and for random give-aways!
Big thanks also to the support given from the industry; Leatt, Casio G-Shock, Renthal, Maxxis, [R]evolution… 2013 is an awesome year to be racing with the Cairns Mountain Bike Club!

As always, a desperate shout out for any willing volunteers to lend a hand in assuring the events run smoothly! Helpers will be needed on both Saturday and Sunday with Enduro timing/marshaling and many jobs to fill on the Sunday DH!!!
