Once you reach transition and head out onto the bike course there is the opportunity to stretch the legs a little before the challenge of the bike course really starts to get interesting. After you have reached the start of the loop, which you'll complete twice, the single track, technical sections are interspersed with wide open sections that will give you that all important opportunity to overtake your competition.

The bike course has a combination of surfaces, from short tarmac sections to mud, glorious mud under your tyres and varying degrees of terrain to challenge you and get the adrenaline pumping through your veins!!
