has some good things to say
I'll put this here for my good friends at the Broken Hill Mountain Bike Club.
Their feature race is their annual 3hr Enduro which they run on a combination of their Golf Club Track and Nine Mile Extension which when stuffed together is known as the Super Loop. It is happening on Sunday 16th July
I can attest that this track is indeed 'super' in an XC kind of way, not especially technical (though there are moments!) but a worthy lung buster up from Conrod Str8 to Skyline and then a mad descent into Beaver Creek. The overall loop is a squidge over 13 km and you can expect to manage 15 to 20 km/h for your average B grader. The Golf Club loop is basically a rocky, shaley hill with hard sand along Conrod and Footrot Flats while the Nine Mile Extension is half stony loam double track and half gibber sand loam single track (and all speed...except for the sneaky hills)
If they are feeling like true bastards they'll take in Fulmen Spur and Rock Ridge...but I don't think they are that harsh. Or stupid.

Keep an eye on their website for more info or simply drop them an email. It won't cost you much and it will be fun. http://www.bhmtb.asn.au/index.php
