Organisers are searching for better weather conditions – if not dryer, at least warmer! – with this new date as well as for longer daylight hours, thus making the event more enjoyable for all.
The 2011 Capital Punishment’s course will stay very similar to the one in 2010, linking the best single track in Canberra into one continuous 100km point to point ride, including Kowen Forest, Majura Pines, Black Mountain and World-Class Stromlo Forest Park. A 50km option is also available for those participants looking for a more leisurely ride while still experiencing some of the tracks that have made Canberra the Mecca of mountain biking in Australia.
Entries are limited and will open online on December 8, 2010 at 8:00am EST. The 2,000 places are expected to fill in within hours. The inaugural 2010 event’s 2,000 spots were all snatched on the first day, after crashing the server a couple of times, so eager were the would-be participants to register!
Event information and entries are available on: www.capitalpunishmentmtb.com.au.
