Nalgene Polaris Challenge

Next weekend, some 500 mountain bikers from across Australia will set off from the Delegate/Bendoc region of Southern NSW/NE Victoria for the 2006 Nalgene Polaris Challenge. The event is a two-day overnight race combining mountain biking with navigation, bush skills and touring.

Self-supported teams of two ride between checkpoints scattered over a large area of rugged country (approx. 25km x 25km). Each checkpoint has a score and the aim is to accumulate as many points as possible within each day’s time limit. Distant and hard-to-access checkpoints carry higher scores and there are tough penalties for exceeding the time limits.
