MTBO 2: Bayswater (Mooro Beeloo)

Riverside Gardens, Milne St

This is a new and different area with a bit of everything for everybody. We have some excellent views of the river from both sides now. Ride around scenic Bayswater, delightful Ashfield, the vistas of Ascot and highlights of Maylands – explore the bike path, tracks and back streets, cross bridges, venture into parks and bush reserves, and check out the sites of former rubbish dumps now graced with delightful multistorey units and recreational parks.

This will be a two-hour (or whatever fraction of two hours you want to do!) score event, with all the controls worth exactly the same point values to make it simpler for your strategic route planning. You may also do the event on foot.

The event will be using MapRun, which you should install on your phone before the event. Details on using MapRun are in the Information flyer.
