NOTE THIS COURSE HAS BEEN ALTERED FOR 2024.
The 2nd mountain bike course is a complete contrast to the 1st. It is technically not difficult, over gently undulating terrain on well-formed single track and some roads. Please note that cyclists MUST carry their own water or other replacement fluid.

From the transition, follow the newly built single track north to Hatchery Bay (about 4km). Follow the main dirt road out of Hatchery Bay towards Kosciuszko Rd, the cross Kosciuszko Rd being very careful to watch and give way to ALL TRAFFIC. Continue along the undulating bitumen road towards the Gaden Trout Hatchery.
At the entrance car park of the Trout Hatchery, turn right, past the toilet block and continue onto the new Thredbo Valley Track, across the impressive new bridge over the Thredbo River, and through the gate on the far side. Turn right and follow the signs to the Thredbo River Picnic Area.
Note this section of the course is a shared pathway. BIKERS MUST GIVE WAY TO ALL PEDESTRIANS (including runners coming the other way over the final 500m). The Thredbo River Picnic Area is the next transition point.
