THE COURSE & MAP

The Mountain Bike Course is a 7.5km Lap. 45km competitors complete 6 x 7.5km laps and 23km competitors complete 3 x 7.5km laps.

The Mountain Bike Course has been custom built for the Dirt Fest Weekend. The 7.5km Mtb lap is an action packed loop that dives in and out of short forest sections on the spectacular Novotel Forest Golf Course.

New riders will enjoy the flowing nature of the course, while more experienced riders will love carving the berms, bridges and roll overs. If you're not too tired to look, you'll also enjoy the panoramic views from many points along the course. The course is suitable for those new to mountain biking, but will also challenge those with advanced technical riding skills in a number of sections.
