WORLD CHAMPS DOMINATE BLORES HILL 6 HOUR
Round 6 of the Victorian Endurance Series for mountain bikes was held at Blores Hill on Sunday 22nd of July. Over 200 riders who filed in from all over the state were greeted with somewhat cloudy skies making for great racing conditions. Blores Hill’s fast, flowy single-track was in perfect conditions impressing all and sundry, some of whom were coping with tracks in their own areas which were waterlogged and muddy or closed altogether.
Blores Hill Caravan Park’s enthusiastic managers again allowed Gippsland MTB to use their facility as a base for the event, supplying accommodation, toilets, showers and a large staging area for riders and their support crews. Catering was provided for by a hard working team from Maffra Secondary College from Saturday until Sunday evening.
