  • Rock me. Ben Henderson demonstrates the fine art of picking your way down a vertical boulder field
  • The tunnel of love - riders pass through here close to the start/finish
  • Going up. Technical climbing characterises the uphill sections of the course
  • More tricky ascending
  • Don't stuff up. At least there's a mesh barrier to make you into ships if you do. Mmmm, chips.
  • The brush round the course is dry and spiky
  • Henderson tops out with half of Canberra laid out behind him
  • There's a line up here somewhere
  • Who put this silly rock in the way?
  • Drop in and see me some time.
  • More rock slab descending shenanigans
  • This is how.
  • Caroline Buchanan flies down the four-cross course
  • The downhill course zooms thorugh the tight, twisty Stromlo singletrack
