Hard Stage - Chewbacca
Chewbacca is a challenging, constant Grade 4 test. Certainly at the hard end of the G4 spectrum and certainly in the wet
Chewbacca is hand cut single track, built by Empire of Dirt in 2018. Everything is rollable, but you certainly need your bike handling and brake control dialled. Great example of a modern MTB trail / enduro ride.
The trail starts at the Park Summit and continues down to Te Ara Kaikohi at the bottom

Hey Team, well done to those who have managed to brave the conditions and get out on the trails and rack up some stage times.
If you haven't had a chance to get out it looks like today will be the best of the days in the coming week to give those stages a crack but don't worry, times will close on Thur 30th Nov 23.
Now for some admin:
1. This years method of tracking participants hasn’t really gone as planned. So to overcome this, can participants please post to the event discussion their stage times so they can be Collated.
2. As previously mentioned, CBS will be hosting a gathering on Sunday 03 Dec at 3pm to celebrate everyone accomplishments. However, before Adam stocks up the sausages and drinks can I please have RSVPs posted to this discussion before the 30th Nov 23.
As always, stay safe and keep shredding 🤘
