The Port to Port MTB course begins at the tranquil Nelson Bay Marina, where riders are greeted by four days of exciting single track, fire trails, testing hill climbs and steep descents through Cessnock, the Hunter Valley, Lake Macquarie and Newcastle.
One of the features of the 2015 event will be the Crowne Plaza Sundown Shootout. This exclusive event will be a fast-paced mountain bike spectacular, consisting of a 2km time trial for the top one hundred riders, starting in the newly built Lovedale Brewery and winding around the Hunter Valley Golf course. For riders not competing in the Crowne Plaza Sundown Shootout, this will be an opportunity to witness Australia’s best Mountain Bike riders up-close in action.
NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Tourism and Major Events Andrew Stoner said he looks forward to welcoming participants from around the country and the world to Newcastle and the Hunter in NSW for the second Port to Port MTB.
“This year’s Port to Port MTB was very well received, delivering a significant economic benefit to the local community. The NSW Government is proud to have secured the event from 2014 to 2016 through our tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW”.
“The event showcases the magnificent Hunter region of NSW to an international audience, with competitors traversing idyllic beaches, picturesque wine country, and forest trails over four action-packed days of competition,” Mr Stoner said.
The Port to Port MTB will be held from Thursday 28 May to Sunday 31 May, 2015. To register and for more information, visit porttoportmtb.com
