'Short and Stout' - 40km MTB/Single Speed
The 'Short and Stout' is one for the die-hard trail riders, single speed purists or those wanting a more technical course challenge.
It heads south for the initial 10km section starting with a brief sealed section before you work your way into a gravel road climb and on to the ups and downs through the bush on 4WD and single tracks.
This little dogleg section sends you back to Colville and provides the warm up for an epic climb. Once through the village you'll embark on the longest climb of the day, starting on a narrow dirt road which forms one of the local's driveways you continue to climb before a 4WD track takes you along a long ridgeline with stunning sea views up to 408m! Have a look at the panoramic video on our YouTube page to see what we're on about. Time to drop all that vert; a mean descent through rugged 4WD trails and single track will get you peaking for the last climb of the day. This descent had our local guide spinning his quad around and heading back home via the ridge - so you know it's legit! This last climb is as they should be; meandering single track will see you getting your flow on before heading back down the farmers driveway you sweated your way up earlier and back to Colville for a cheeky sprint finish.
The bulk of the course is ride-able but be prepared to have to get off and haul the bike around a bit. The majority of the course is on private land, not normally accessible to the public so that's pretty cool!
Estimated finish times based on previous events has the fast cats around 2h 20m, median (middle) time 3h 40m, and towards the back 5h 20m.
