Townsville Rockwheelers have been given the chance to hold the BNG Sports 2010 QLD State DH Championships.The Mount Stuart course is approximately 2.8km in length, most riders complete the course in approximately 6 minutes (dependent on skills and ability). The track is situated parallel to the Mt Stuart “bitumen” road – and it is about a 15 minute turn around back to the top, making it easy for riders to get in several runs. As a whole the track is technically and physically challenging and is fast and flowing. In parts the terrain is loose and rocky and you fight for grip.
