Finish Line events - Mount Beauty Six Hour
Sunday 9 th March 2008
Approximately 10 km in length, mainly single track with a little bit of wide track/fire road.
Come and ride the softer side to Mount Beauty . The course while challenging, will have none of the trade mark Mount Beauty techo sections and should be achievable by all but the complete novice.
After completing a start loop with a nice big climb to sort out the field, riders will drop into the 4X track before entering the course proper. From there it's the best single track Mount Beauty has to offer with a little wide track/fire road thrown in. Expected lap times will be about 30 Minutes for riders with a reasonable level of fitness.
Starting in Merimbula, riders will climb 5,500m (almost 20,000 feet) over 240km before summiting Australia's highest mountain, Mt Kosciuszko. Put into perspective, the ride is tougher than most mountain stages of the Tour de France.
