Half the Man/Woman I Used to be If you can't do the full Hellfire we have bought back the weekend option (the Half Satan) due to people requesting a shorter option. It is a great introduction to stage racing and you get to enjoy the village atmosphere which is great fun too. Only 50 Half Satan spots available so if you are keen get on it. Accommodation If you aren't camping at the Jettech race village and are looking for other options our accommodation list is now up and happening on the website check it out - there are options for every budget and other holiday plans! You Can Ring My Bell (Tent) On the topic of where to stay the land managers and all round good guys from Mtn Trails are trialling the hire out of some awesome bell tents with some great creature comforts. These will be a great way to have some comfort and hassle free shelter whilst still being part of the race village atmosphere. On offer 4 spacious weatherproof tents available with your own deck overlooking the race village and the valley beyond with a configuration of your choice – a tent for a cosy twosome with a queen size bed, or a “glamp share” with up to 4 single beds. Each tent comes decked out with comfy lofty beds, bed linen, basic crockery, a USB charging port, bike work stand, your own loo, some chairs to enjoy the view from your private deck and a shared glamping crew bbq. Trails Our volunteer trail crew The Peoples Republic of Trail Building and Mtn Trails have been hard at it and there is a multitude of new trail since Hellfire 2015 meaning some new configurations and new trails to ride. Keep it fresh we reckon. The FNG, Connector, Rawhide, and new climb trails will be on offer as well as plenty of organic old favorites. this will be our best course yet. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for updates and trail images. Testify! Essentially every Race Director and Event Manager will tell you that their event is the greatest thing since the inflatable sponge sharpener (patent pending). However when I book an event that is going to absorb some of my hard earned coin I want to know will it be fun. I want to know do the people running the show have my back. I want get a feel for what will the whole event experience be like. To nut this out I ask are other riders. Here is the lowdown from some of the riders from previous Hellfire Cups to help you get a handle on what the experience might be like. Fast, last or in between Hellfire is for everyone. |
