Unlike most mountain bike events, the Cape to Cape MTB is set up with the traveller in mind. In 2010, we will begin each Stage even earlier in the day, to allow the riders and their support crew more time in the afternoon to do a variety of tourist activities.
In 2010 we will also have more spectator vantage points so they can get out on the course and see the action up close. With this in mind, we encourage you to bring friends and family to the event.
The changeover points for riders participating in the 2010 Team Relay category will be as follows:
Stage 1 (approx 40km)
Changeover at turn off GreenHill Rd car access off Diana Rd Junction (20km mark).
Stage 2 (approx 65km)
Changeover at Vlam Rd and Caves Rd Intersection (32km mark).
Stage 3 (approx 46km)
Changeover at Water Treatment Plant in Margaret River (22km mark).
Stage 4 (approx 60km)
Changeover at corner of Blythe and Yelverton Roads (30km mark).
