Pick a colour

Red or Blue? Or both? Thats the options we will have as riders in the Scott 24hour MTB race next weekend. 

The red lap, includes some of the lower trail section near the carpark, then up the sustained switchback climbs to the top followed by the ripping downhill run back to transition. The Blue lap is a bit more up and down and a lot more technical taking you way out the back of Stromlo Forest park through some tight, in parts extremely rocky sections and back around to a nice downhill run before weaving your way back to transition.

Today I got out for possibly my last ride before next weekend, so I made the most of it and did both laps back to back, about 28km all together, to see what it will be like come Saturday morning. My verdict, lovely, cant wait. I didnt get too tired and managed basically the full 2 laps (not including the 2 or 3 km lower section). 

Last ride before the Scott?? That seems like a long time away! I could probably fit another one in somewhere!
