Highland Fling MTB Marathon entries to open 23 June
May 13th, 2008MEDIA RELEASE: The weekend of 8-9 November 2008 sees the 4th running of the Highland Fling Mountain Bike Marathon. The race, which again doubles as the Australian MTB Marathon Championships, takes place in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW with the event centre in the town of Bundanoon, 2 hours south of Sydney.
The Weekend Warrior Festival is how mountain biking was in the beginning with 4 different disciplines on the one weekend. You can take part in how many events you chose whether one event or two events or all four events.
From the creators of the popular Dirt Works 100km Classic comes another cross country MTB endurance event, set amongst some of the best MTB trails in Victoria. The BMC 100km Classic will be staged from the picturesque Cammeray Waters at Woodend in Victoria, only one hour’s drive from central Melbourne and 40 minutes from the airport.
With awesome single track, beautiful berms, rolling hills, exciting fire trails and right next to the beach for some post race surfing you will not want to miss this. As Hugh Flower from City Bike Depot said “This must be some of Australia’s best, yet undiscovered mountain bike trails - you just can’t get enough!”.
