Australian National Mountain Bike Series, round 2. Featuring Downhill, Cross Country and Mountain Cross to be held in Hobart, Tasmania 25th to 26th of November 2006 at the Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park
National Round 2
National level mountain bike competition will see a welcome return to Tasmania (November 25-26) with the Hobart Dirt Devils hosting XC#2, DH#2 and MTNX#2 at the now well respected Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park, whose Glen Jacobs designed courses were very favorably received last season.
With a promise of better and weather resistant DH transport this season we are certainly looking forward to another visit to the Apple isle.

We are looking for helpers on the event weekend to drive 4wds, marshal the courses and to help out generally.
