Hi,
Just wondered if the stages have been announced for Rd 1, excluding any hand crafted stages which I’m sure will be kept secret for as long as possible?
Cheers

I’ve seen that the Top Loop is going to closed to non racers on the day, so I’m guessing Whelpstone & Hully Gully might be a stage and other could be the old red route downhill to the ruins of Bottoms?

cant see it being whelpstone to hully gully but they have been building some stuff for the race so who knows.

There’s a fair bit of building going on next to some of the fireroads, but I’m guessing thats just going to become part of the loop at some point?

Looks fairly rocky and technical from what you can see.

From PMBA’s facebook:

The lap is around 13 miles, with 1300ft of climbing/descending. The 3 stages have around 800ft of timed descent between them and 50ft of climbing.

Stage maps and race info will be emailed out on the 25th.

Yep the building work on the lower loop is main (uphill) trail, due to open early summer.
