What fun is Mountain Biking? This week ended with the Wagga MTB 3+3 Enduro. MTB Wagga puts on a fair show for their annual 3+3 Enduro and this year was no exception. It all started with an evening Dash for Cash, a one-ish kilometer loop completed as the sun faded through the afternoons clouds. A recent local downpour had just dampened the track adding to the experience with a powder free surface and cool clean air to breath. The dedicated MTB Wagga crew had a large transition area and event hub with a massive communal shelter. The shelter became useful to keep dry during the occasional weather change, be it wet, windy and/or sunny.
The location for the 3+3 Enduro is "Pommie" Reserve situated beside the Wagga Golf Course on the western side of town. The reserve is now off limits to motorised vehicles, the MTB track has good signage and a well worn track. The local mayor and aboriginal elder were on hand to welcome the competitors to the Enduro, many had traveled just like me from Sydney and some from as far as Orange, Albury and Bateman’s Bay. This year the event was ridden by close to two hundred riders with most being the dedicated solo type riders.
