CASTLEMAINE CONTINENTAL TYRES “GET THE GRIP” ENDURO
UPDATE – 17 AUGUST 2008

With over 150 competitors already, the Castlemaine Continental Tyres “Get the Grip” 6-hour is set to be a beauty, so get your entry in now! Entries close Wednesday 20th August.

This year there is more new single track added, taking a lap to about 10km. The track is in perfect condition – despite the rain we’ve had over the past few weeks there is currently NO MUD! And, even better early forecasts are for a fine day.

For those joining us Saturday remember that if you register by 5pm you will be automatically entered in the Olympic Sweep, with the winner receiving a great prize from Rudy Project! Dinner will be courtesy of the Theatre Royal, and includes a free drink of your choice.

A big thank-you to our major sponsor Continental Tyres, and supporting sponsors Rudy Project, Castlemaine Cycles, Theatre Royal, Torq Bars and Adrian Lock Web Design  who have ensured there will be well over $5000 worth of cash, prizes and giveaways!
