| Bike Buller - MTB Festival The Bike Buller Mountain Bike Festival presented by Giant is a revolutionary bike event that brings all that is great about mountain biking to one spectacular location for a massive weekend of riding, single track, bikes, fresh air and partying at a place that is renowned for good times.
Event Overview Races included as part of the long weekend schedule include:
The 2013 event also coincides with the March Long Weekend and the popular ‘Picnic in the Park’ food, wine and music festival so there is one massive party in the middle of it all and plenty for non riders to enjoy as well. So all in all, the Bike Buller MTB Festival is designed as a super fun mountain bike event for everyone; racers can race, recreational riders can enjoy the trails and the scenery, non riders can do their own thing and we can all get together to enjoy a good party on Saturday night. This is what riding is all about! |

TRAINING
The Bike Buller MTB Festival is designed to be a fun event for all levels of rider, from racers to recreational cruisers. As with most things, the fitter you are often means the more fun and enjoyment you have as you have the time and the energy to take in the views, to chat to some of your fellow competitors and look around you. As such we encourage all participants to put a bit of time into preparing your bodies for the Bike Buller MTB Festival on March 10 - 11 2012.
There is a bunch of information about training and preparing for a mountain bike race under the ‘MTB training’ link on the left – a good starting point being the ‘Basic Guidelines for Event Training and Preparation’ page linked here.
