LunarC is a 10km cross country course. It is varied and graded easy to medium in technical difficulty which means it can be conquered by everyone from beginners to experts. The big test on this course will be competitor's endurance. The course presents a few key challenges including hills, inclines and single track riding. The course includes fast, flowing single track and a particularly picturesque section of single track through the rain forest. Just to add to the fun there are a few small creek crossings which add an element of excitement in the dark. For those of you who are familiar with the In 2 Adventure course at Slickers there are a few key changes for LunarC. All the open terrain riding through the low lying field has been removed from the course and replaced with a hill climb that will provide a key challenge and some all new trails and single tracks. The course has been designed to eliminate the water logged areas and should provide a lot of great riding on the night. If you thought the course was good before just wait until you check out this one. |
