Australian MTBO Champs 2015
Now that the Australian Championships Carnival is over, time to focus on the final National Championships for the year – the Australian MTBO Championships, to be held on Victoria’s spectacular Surf Coast on the 6-8 November.
The carnival is also a World Ranking Event for Elites, a round of the World Masters Series, an Australia New Zealand Challenge and the final round of the National MTBO Series.
Sprint, Middle and Long races will be contested with a warm-up event at the You Yangs on Friday afternoon.
The organising team is confident it will be an outstanding and enjoyable championships for all. The spectacularly scenic Surf Coast will provide some wonderful riding opportunities on the three new maps. We are predicting the the Middle race at Anglesea will go down as possibly the best MTBO map in Australia and will truly test your navigation while giving you the opportunity to ride some fantastic trails.
The native coastal forest is a beautiful backdrop when riding these trails, and is such a different experience from the usual Victorian MTBO maps. When added to the spectacular coastal scenery and views, it is sure to be a winner.
The setters have been out testing courses in recent weeks and can report that the trails are in great condition. Tune your bikes for fast and flowing and tune your brains for a navigational challenge.
The events are held just over an hour’s drive from Melbourne airport and about 30 minutes from Jetstar’s Avalon airport.
