•Overnight Stops/Accommodation: having the race stop at major resorts/towns ensures heaps of quality accommodation, this is a major benefit relative to overseas stage races.

•Mt Ebenezer
-
•ALL the singletrack
-
•Russ Baker, he is invalueable! (could not agree more)
-
•The awesome trails for T3
-
•The even spread of towns where generally you stay two or three days is great as you don't have to pack up all the time
-
•Singletrack sections although would be good to have some earlier if possible as you do not appreciate them as much when you encounter them at the end of a six or seven hour ride
-
•All the tough tracks & trails - even some wet weather!
-
•The comfortable accommodation & lovely locations
-
•All the happy & patient volunteers & great mechanics
