The Hellfire Cup made quite a stir in 2013, being first postponed by fire, and then ravaged by floods on the new date! The organisers were ruffled, but not ruined. And for 2014 the Mountain Bike Stage Race with the festival atmoosphere is heading back to Tasmania for another four days of racing and entertainment. There are 8 stages over the four days, although one stage is optional There is more singletrack, and the dirt crit has been tightened up for closer racing.
The race starts on November 20th and runs until the 23rd, but entries close on September 7th – so start locking your plans in and get entered if you have been thinking about it.
Look at the event website for more details, but a quick view of the video should show the work that the crew have put into the trails.
