Singletrack Classic Weekender

The disciplines:

There will be three events in the Classic Weekender that will lead riders to an overall position.

Classic Trials

This event doesn’t require much in the way of Trials skills really. There will be five simple, taped off, sections to ride, resembling “normal” mountain bike obstacles. A clean ride between the tapes is a “clear”. For every “fail”, you will earn a time penalty.

Classic Downhill

Doable on any bike from a hardtail to a monster DH bike. Smooth all-round riding will get you a better time than just being fearless. Once again, the penalties won’t be too severe. The main thing to avoid is punctures!

Classic XC

The Sunday will host the cross country race. The start will be handicapped so that riders with perfect scores from the Saturday will start on time, followed a minute later by riders with a minute’s penalty, and so on until the riders with the maximum penalty score bring up the rear.
