S/J/V/W Course
The S/J/V/W course will be slightly different to last year with more use of paths and other sections of the park. The climb alongside the golf club and fast descent to the bottom field are back in. The majority of the course is ride-able with only the steps to the finishing area requiring those finely tuned dismounts and remounts! S/J/V/W race will start over in the big field near car park 3.
