COURSE MAP
XCO
COURSE OUTLINE

• The 2021 AusCycling National Championships
Cross-Country Olympic (XCO) course utilises a
series of new and exciting sections of trail on the
lower half of the hill at Maydena Bike Park.
• The 4.9km course is characterised by two climbs
and descents that are designed to challenge
riders’ fitness and technical ability.
• The start and finish of each lap will be located at
the bottom of the course in the oval.

350m above see level before descending
through a fast and flowy mix of trails.

approx. 500m above sea level before dropping
riders down into the technical ‘Tinder’ trail.
TEAM/RIDER SUPPORT

DOWNHILL
COURSE OUTLINE
DOWNHILL COURSE
• The Maydena downhill course is designed and
constructed by Dirt Art specifically for the 2021
AusCycling Downhill National Championships.
• The purpose-built course is a culmination of
what Maydena has become renowned for in
terms of challenging riders with its highly
variable terrain.
• Starting from the midline, the course begins with
a fast flow section, which quickly transitions into
a series of steep and technical sections with
multiple line choices for racers.
• The lower half of the track switches gears with
faster sections interlinked with a series of larger
bike park style features.
• The downhill track can be accessed via the two
uplift options described below.
UPLIFT OPTIONS
OPTION 1: MIDLINE DROP-OFF
• The midline shuttle drop-oG option is the
quickest and easiest way to get to the start of the
downhill course.
• The duration of the shuttle is approximately half
the time of option 2.
• Riders will pedal across the midline trail, which is
predominately flat but has some short climbs
that are easily negotiated - even on
a downhill bike.
• Option 1 represents the best option for riders
wanting to fit in as many practice laps as possible.
OPTION 2: SUMMIT DROP-OFF
