Further details.
The M-NIC is a low-key cross-country series ideal for competitors new to the sport, or new to competition, thru to those in training for the MTBNZ National Series or further international competition.
Each round is run independently by the local host club, consisting of either multi-lap or single loop races. Competitors either pre-enter or enter on-the-day at each event separately, with the three (3) best round results counted for final overall series points.
To be eligible for the series, competitors must start the final (in Napier).
