Twisted Oaks race day information round 7

🚵 Welcome to Round 7 of the MTB East League! 🚵‍♀️

We’re excited to welcome you to a slightly different but just as exciting round of racing! This event takes place at a bike park, so there are a few quirks to be aware of — please read all details carefully.

⸻

🚴‍♂️ BIKE PARK ACCESS
• The bike park will be open to the public during our event.
• Jump trails are strictly off-limits unless you have explicit permission from the park.
• If you’d like to ride anything other than the XC trails or the official race course, you must sign in at the bike park office.
• Please ride responsibly and be respectful of other park users.

🚗 PARKING

There are two car parks:
1. Lower Car Park (Rider-Preferred)
• This is the best option for race access.
• It’s very small, so please fill this first — it will be signposted.
• The medical team will be based here.
• To reach the start/finish:
• Adults: follow the gravel road.
• U12/9/7 riders: follow the track by the river.
2. Overflow Car Park (Main Bike Park Car Park)
• Located at the top of the hill by the trail centre.
• Toilets and the food van will be located here.
• From this car park, you can reach the course by following the XC trail downhill.
• Stand facing the woods from the car park — the XC course is directly ahead.
• ⚠️ Parents, please be cautious — it’s a steep descent.

🕒 RACE FORMAT & TIMING
• The race schedule remains the same as previous rounds.
• The timing gantry will be in use for the main course only. It will not be used for U12/9/7 races due to logistical limitations.

👧 Under 7 (U7)
• This race will remain time-based, as in previous rounds.

👦 Under 9 & Under 12 (U9 & U12)
• These categories will race on the same course.
• The races will be lap-based, not time-based, with each category completing a set number of laps.

⸻

📍 EVENT HUB & START AREA
• The Travers Gazebo will be located at the bottom of the hill — visible from most of the venue.
• Head there for:
• Directions to the start area
• Info
• Help from event staff

🚫 Please only enter the course for practice at the official start area — no joining mid-course.

⸻

🍔 FOOD & FACILITIES
• Toilets are available at both car parks.
• The food van will be in the Overflow (main bike park) car park at the top.

⸻

✅ Final Reminders:
• Respect the venue and other park users.
• Stick to the designated trails unless signed in at the bike park office.
• Use only official access points to the race course.
• Cheer loudly and ride hard — but above all, have fun!
