We are getting closer to finalising the details of the course so we've provided a rough map. Obviously things may change a little as we work with the community and sort out the logistics of this technically demanding course.
And to wet your appetites a little more here's what our course designing mad genius has in mind.
Starting at the very top of the streets of Lyttelton the course quickly drops down the first section of road before a large kicker/stepdown transitions the riders off the road into the first section of 'built track'. This will be a 200m section of flow track which takes riders to the next road and the next feature. Coming off this section riders will encounter the stepdown over a driveway (and possibly a car) on the next road, before quickly dropping again off the road and into another 'built section'. This takes riders down to the next driveway and it's all roads from here. Down the driveway and onto Jacksons Road riders should encounter 2 small step-ups before the first flight of steps, then it's fast down the road to the next set of stairs before hooking a hard left (hopefully bermed) into the next driveway, through the garden, down the stairs and back onto Kebble Road. Then down the next set of stairs to take you onto Dublin St, gap down to the lower road, then back up to Winchester again (don't worry, this isn't a climb!). A wall ride then sets up for Winchester. Sprint along here, and then it's round the back of the leisure centre. There's a nice natural stepdown before entering Canterbury street. Not far to the end now. Sprint down Canterbury, and hook a hard left onto London St using the final wall ride. Carry plenty of speed onto London St for the final jump. Cross the line and grab a beer.
That should have you reaching for your mouse and clicking the entry tab, or at the very least digging out your camera and marking the 24th of March in your calendar for a day trip to Lyttelton for some excitement!
