Bike Buller Festival will see the Copperhead Trail for the first time
The fourth year of Bike Buller mountain bike festival will be held from March10-12 in the coming year. The three-day celebration will be held at the base of Mt. Buller in Australia.
The Copperhead trail designed by Glen Jacobs will be seen in intense and exhilarating action at the event.
Jacobs briefed about his new design, “Copperhead is a unique concept, incorporating a flow country style but with a downhill edge. We've incorporated a few of our innovations from over the years to create a trail that will suit both downhill and cross country
bikes and all types of riders".
Event organiser, Sam Maffet believes that the coming festival will be more fun for everyone and will be the best weekend for many. He believes that it is “shaping up to be a big long weekend".
Maffet mentioned that everyone is excited because Bike Buller will be the first festival to have implemented the new trail.
Maffet expressed hopes that the event will turn out to be the largest mountain bike party of the year. There will be a total number of five stages during the festival.
The first stage is termed as A Stirling Circuit which is a 30 to 50 kilometre race over Mt Stirling to new ‘Stonefly’.
The second phase is the stage 101 which is a 10 kilometre kids race to ensure that children also get their share of enjoyment and excitement during the fiesta.
Stage 2 is the 5hr Brakeburner Enduro which is a multi-lap flowing XC-downhill course with a 6 kilometre lap. The stage finishes with a 12 km descent Super D Mt Buller, to the music and food festival at the base of the mountain.
The last two stages are the Mountain Buller Super D and Cornhill cranker that are 12 kilometre and 25 kilometre stages, respectively, and will conclude the proceedings of the occasion.
The Bike Buller MTB festival is organised as a fun filled mountain biking event for everyone. There are many fun filled activities arranged for the non riders as well. Meanwhile, recreational riders can enjoy the fabulous trails and scenery at the event.
