" A fast and furious Mountain Bike ride that will make for fun racing conditions. Very different to the ride on Day 2! "
STAGE 7 - MOUNTAIN BIKE: MUSGRAVEA
World Heritage Rainforest wraps around this stage from Mission Beach for a beautiful ride over a number of freshwater creek bridges through Djiru National Park. A fast start will see teams race along the beach, before climbing along the El Arish – Mission Beach Road to join the Musgravea Track. This trail follows an old forestry road used in the 1960s and 1970s to haul timber from South Mission Beach to the El Arish timber mill. A mainly flat trail ride to reach the last transition and final stage of Red Bull Defiance.
