The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Heading South along Del Park Road:
Turn right onto Scarp Rd, which is unsealed. This about 40 metres past a blue Mundabiddi signpost, which you will see on the left hand side.
A few kms down Scarp Rd, (after passing two 90 degree left-hand side roads by the pine plantation) take the left fork and about 300 metres down you will again turn left and find yourself at the trail head for Turner Hill mountain bike tracks.
Turner Hill XC5
Kindly sponsored by Liberty Bikes. Dave will be displaying the amazing Rocky Mountain Range at the race, they are a beautiful bike, if you can't wait drop by the shop, 143 Walter Rd (West), Dianella WA 6059
This is a PMBC favourite catering to all abilities and styles of riding, I personally love this course, its fun and demanding at the same time.
Rolling singletrack, technical sweeping downhills and plenty of obstacles if you like the A line.

***INFORMATION ADDED ABOVE, PLEASE READ***
thank you for all the extra info. Always good reminder but this is fab for new to racing members.
Lap count for Expert Women?
Hi is there a vet women's category? and how long before the race starts do we need to be there?
Will there be time before the 2nd wave to do a warm up lap on the course?
The answer to your question would unfortunately be no.
Once the first wave has started and the time gap between the first and second wave being very short, you will not have a chance to complete a warm up lap.
Any person found riding on the course who is not racing in that wave will be disqualified.
regards
Martin Nugent
Expert women and Vet women will complete two laps
It would be best to be at the race 1hr before it commences to warm and prepare.

Martin Nugent
