It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.

Ok the 8hr festival weekend

Saturday will see the very first 8hrs of DH. 3 short, gentle DH tracks, Teams of three one rider on each track start together.

Each rider will be given the opportunity of at least 2 timed runs on each track. Entries are capped so there should be time at the end to try and improve a bad run.

The best 2 runs of each rider on each track will be added into the teams total, lowest total time wins.
