Round 7 of the Gippsland MTB club championship remains at Blores Hill following round 6, however this time it is a completely different style of race with competitors undertaking a navigational checkpoint race.

The goal of this event is that competitors ride to and find as many designated Checkpoints within the Blores Hill MTB Complex and then return to the finish control within a designated time period.

Points will be awarded for number of Checkpoints access as well as the difficulty of those Checkpoints, i.e. the more difficult a point is to access, the more points you get for finding it. The locations and values of each Checkpoint will be provided to competitors on a map at the start of the event. Riders will then have time to design their own route around the park that they believe that they can complete in the allocated time. There is no set course or order in which the Checkpoints are to be accessed, and riders can ride as individuals or as a part of a team.

Start location will actually be on the Tinamba Road (southern end of Blores). Signs will be placed out from Heyfield.

This event is open to both GMTB members and non-members, we always welcome new faces at our events so feel free to bring anyone along who may be interested.
