The Grays Point Mountain Bike Festival 2024

The 3-hour XC race offers flexibility in how you choose to compete, allowing you to tailor the challenge to your strengths and goals. How It Works: Max Distance Challenge: The primary objective is to see how many kilometers you can cover within the 3-hour timeframe. You can pace yourself to maintain a steady speed over multiple laps, aiming to accumulate the maximum distance. Fastest Lap Challenge: Alternatively, you can focus on setting the fastest lap time. Whether you decide to complete just one lap or multiple, the goal here is to push yourself for speed and record the quickest single lap time. Mix It Up: You can also combine both approaches. Start by setting a fast lap, and then continue riding to see how far you can go within the 3 hours. This way, you can aim for both a great lap time and an impressive overall distance. Your Strategy: The race format allows you to compete in a way that suits your strengths, whether that's endurance, speed, or a blend of both.
