PUSHYS ROSEWHITE
12 HOUR SATURDAY MAY 17, 2014 What is the PUSHYS ROSEWHITE 12 HOUR ? The PUSHYS ROSEWHITE 12 HOUR event is an off road challenge or endurance mountain bike race which can be entered solo or in a team of 2,3,4 or 6 people (same or mixed sex). The PUSHYS ROSEWHITE 12 HOUR event is a race in which the competitor/s with the most laps after 12 hours of racing wins. The competition is not only against the other teams and individuals but against the terrain, the clock and yourself. It's more than just an event though, it's a total mountain bike festival experience with the emphasis on having fun - there's onsite bush camping, great food available, a massage tent, entertainment and licensed bar. Product prizes for solo riders and teams and crazy random spot prizes will be awarded. New for 2014 is the inclusion of the Pushys Rosewhite 6 Hour event for those not up to the challenge of a 12 hour race. Where ?
