Welcome to the 2011 Back Yamma Bigfoot thread.
The 2011 event will be held on the 4th September. http://www.backyammabigfoot.com.au/
Over the next few months we'll be adding content to this thread and answering question as needed. Feel free to contribute. Our previous thread can be accessed here - http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?201539-Back-Yamma-Bigfoot-(Photos-on-event-website)&highlight=back+yamma+bigfoot
What is the Back Yamma Bigfoot?
The BYBF is a 25, 50 or 100km MTB enduro in the Back Yamma State Forest. Back Yamma is 20km south east of Parkes, NSW. The race consists of a 50km loop (The Bigfoot) through a relatively flat forest of eucalypts and cypress pine. The course consists of approx. 30km of single track and the rest fire trail. The 25km option (The Little foot) covers the first half of the Bigfoot, while the 100km race (Two Big Feet) consists of two laps of the Bigfoot.
Because of the relative flatness (only 60m between highest and lowest points) of the course, the ride is fast. By all means it's still a tough race, but is ideally suited to those people wanting to step up to their first 50km or 100km race, or those riders wanting to set a personal best time over these distances. Just to give you an idea of how fast it is, the winner of last years 100km event finished in 3hr 47mins. WOW!
The single track is fun, with a few hills to make it interesting. There is a nice big camping ground where everyone can have their own personal camp fire, and camping is free. We are a small club, the Central West Off Road Bicycle Club (CWORBC), and our goal is to offer a good quality, fun event, at a reasonable price. This will be the second year for the event and have lots of good improvements planned.
We look forward to seeing you out this way in September.
Cheers from the Back Yamma Bigfoot Team
