MaXx Exposure 2010: South Downs Way Night Enduro
25-26th September 2010
OPEN FOR BOOKING SOON
We
have teamed up with Exposure
Lights to push the limits of MTB Enduro! At sunset on Saturday 26th of
September, we challenge you to ride out from Beachy Head to tackle 75 miles
of the South Downs Way to Queen Elizabeth Country
Park (QECP) in time for sunrise.
It's an incredible mountain biking challenge, but we're making it possible. With it's miles of uninterrupted off road and relentless lung busting hills, The South Downs Way has become the most popular 'natural' MTB enduro target in the country and night riding is (quite literally) the 'New Black'. Trail Breaks 10 years experience running our fully supported South Downs Lemming and Exposure Lights leading edge endurance lighting technology make us the perfect team to take the South Downs experience to the MaXx.
There are three route options to choose from:
The MaXx End to End (80 Miles).
The classic 80 mile MaXx along the length of the South Downs Way.
The event package includes:
- Camping facilities at QECP (Sat - Sunday morning)*
- Bus journey to start point (Full Package only**)
- Multiple support stations / checkpoints on route.
- Route marking to help navigation in the dark!
- Kitbag transport to mid way mile checkpoint: (send extra energy food / clothing etc. ahead for halfway pick up.)
- Full ride timing including splits at checkpoints.
- Big Breakfast sandwich & tea at finish.
*You will be able to pitch your tent before travelling to the start, so that it is ready for you at the finish. Campsite will be manned for security.
**Full Package includes coach transport (+ lorry for bikes) from QECP to ride start at Beachy Head. A Ride Only Package does not include coach transport; you must make your own transport arrangements with this package. Please make sure you have your transport logistics worked out before booking Ride Only, as we cannot guarantee an upgrade to include the coach journey at a later date.
The MaXx Loop (40 miles) - Starting and finishing at QECP this is a massive night loop for those who don't want to take on the 10 hour+ End to End. Enjoy an amazing night ride on and off the Downs from QECP to the MaXx checkpoint at Cocking and a second loop beyond that, before blasting back to the Park on the South Downs Way. You get all the facilities of the main event, including your end of ride burger and free t shirt, all from the comfort of the QE Park base. Now there's no excuse to miss out on the night ride of the year!
The MaXx Pub Loop (20 miles) - while the MaXx Loop is a big challenge and the End to End a true epic, we haven't forgetten that staple of the night ride scene; the pub blast! Following mostly the western half of the MaXx Loop, the Pub Loop sets you a more fun-size 20 mile target and just happens to take you right past one of the best pubs on the Downs at it's mid way point. Now - who's round is it?***
***Needless to say, don't ride drunk!
