unday 16th February saw the return
of the Victorian State XCO champs to
Falls Creek. This ever popular racing
format sees bikers going head to head on a
technical and challenging course over a set
number of laps up and down the mountain.
The course team at Falls Creek worked flat
out on the lead up to the event and racers
faced a challenging track that included a
mass start through the village up to the
aqueduct to get the lungs working. The
route then took them out to the Lake and
back via Lakeview, Turbine and Vortex.
The start climbing through the village was an exercise in getting the heart pumping. Pic – Ken Bell.
