 Race Information 

 

There is no better way to celebrate the start of spring then by getting outdoors and having some fun. The NISSAN TrailSeeker Down & Dirty has become the stage for flirting with Spring. Warmer weather makes early morning starts for mountain bike rides a breeze. Add to that the challenge of 70 km, 40 km or 20 km trails that boast the best adrenaline boost that mountain bike trails can offer, and you are sure to become an addict!

 

Bring the family along and join in the fun and festivities at the Cornwall Hill College. 

Come visit the NISSAN chill area and relax after your ride, grab something to eat at the food stalls, or sip a beer at the beer garden while you share your hair raising mountain biking moments with your mountain bike buddies. 

Jumping castle and kids' play area sort out the kids and relaxing in front of plasma screens in the NISSAN chill area provide the opportunity for everyone else to watch world class mountain bike action! 

There are even short, shaded hiking trails and a tea garden on offer to those that do not race.

 

 

 Route Description 

 

The 70 km route is a single loop and all 3 distances share the first few kilometres. The area is famous among mountain bikers for its legendary rocky outcrops! Fast jeep tracks, rhythmic short climbs and exhilarating single tracks through the forest make this route something to remember! It will be hard, fast and furious!

Bring your family along and make them all experience the excitement of mountain biking!

 

 

 

 

 Provincial Points 

 

All categories will earn points in the series as we have directed. Four out of the five marathons will count, you can choose any and your best four results will be used to calculate your placing. It's up to the provincial selectors, who will be chosen for colours. We will be using the SA Seeding for the Nissan MTB Series in 2011.
