Organiser: Blake Gordon (eurekao@netconnect.com.au)
Course Setter: Stephen Balharrie
Controller: Blake Gordon
Fees: Standard VOA country mtb-o fees
Entries: On the evening. Do both this event and the Sunday State Series event and get a discount! This is the second time we've used the park for mtb-o (a demo event at the 2004 World MTB-O Champs the only other time), so try "flat riding" for a change around the park on gravel, dirt and bitumen tracks. Eureka will try to arrange cheap tenting accommodation if requested - but many people already have 'special spots' in Ballarat.
