RACE OVERVIEW

Sweet flowing single track, corners, massive berms, ripping descents, scenic cliff top vistas… all part of the Meehan Monster race course. There will also be plenty of climbing each lap so bring your climbing legs.

The racecourse loop will take in 25km in the Meehan Range including Clarence Mountain Bike Park and Belbins Road/Meehan Range Nature Recreation Area. The race will start and finish in the Clarence MTB Park “Bowl” area.

There will be a mix of single track (80%) and fire trail (20%). There will be a short stretch of road/carpark that will need to be crossed to enter the (Belbins Road) the Belbins Road/Meehan Range Nature Recreation Area entrance. The trails in the Belbins Road/Meehan Range Nature Recreation Area will consist of a loop of the regular XC course used by the Hobart Wheelers Dirt Devils club races.

There will be a feed zone/checkpoint at the internal Belbins carpark. Riders will come through this area at the end of their loop in Stringy Bark Gully. From there the competitors will ascend to the ridgeline via approved trails in the Meehan Range Nature Recreation Area and on Private Land.

The Skyline fire trail will take riders to the “Birthday Loop” trail situated Northeast of Stringy Bark saddle. From here they will head towards Clifftop on the Skyline Fire Trail.

The final descent takes in the top of Corkscrew and then Dino descent into a crossover in the bowl.
