Righto Guys... Information you have been waiting for
There will be updates as more information comes available...
Access to the start of the track is via the bitumen Mt Stuart Road (shuttle Rd).
As for the details of the 2010 Queensland State Championships, it’s Queensland’s biggest race for Downhill Mountain Biking. Riders come from all over Queensland to try and claim the title of the 2010 QLD State Champ. This is the first time the Townsville Rockwheelers have been successful in winning the bid to hold the 2010 Champs. The race will bring around 150 competitors aging from 12 all the way through to 50, with the elite guys reaching speed of 60+kph in some sections. Yes there will be some decent crashes. – Spectators love to see that in any sport, keeps things interesting.
The Track has a few sections that will keep the crowd interested throughout the day.
The Mount Stuart course is approximately 2.8km in length, and it is expected that most riders would complete the course in approximately 6 minutes (dependent on skills and ability). To facilitate safe and rewarding access, as previously mentioned, we have taken the opportunity to mark out the seven most exciting parts of the course for riders and spectators alike
These points are as follows (start to finish):
1. The stairway to airway – Riders travel at high speed over a variety of stairs and then launch a jump through the fork of a tree.
2. Sneaky’s - A steep, tight, slippery section that challenges competitors technical abilities. It finishes with a high speed chute and jump.
3. Ski Ramp - The fastest part of the course. Riders can expect speeds of up to 60km/h before jumping the ski ramp jump.
4. Fast berm, jump, descent and 200m flat out peddle section to test competitor’s stamina.
5. The gauntlet - Riders will fight for traction whilst building speed throughout the steep, rocky, dusty chute.
6. The Bucking Bull- The biggest jump on the track. Big air combined with fast and exciting riding. (Don’t mess this one up)
7. The End - The end section has a range of technical, speed, jumps and berms designed to test fatigued riders.
8. Easy access to the track for spectators to watch the riders in action, so bring your friends.
Some overall statistics:
Start elevation: 395m
Finish elevation: 100m
Course: 2.8km in length
Average decent: 1m in 9.5m
SPECTATOR FRIENDLY - SHUTTLE BUS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY SPECTATOR WANTING A LIFT UP AND DOWN THE HILL - SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
