Aussie national series heads next to Mt Buller

Just one week after the Australian National Championships in Canberra, Australia's best mountain bikers, including former World Champion downhiller Sam Hill, will be competing at Mt Buller this weekend, January 31-February 1, for the fourth round of the Australian National Series.

Cross country racers get their turn on a picturesque eight-kilometer course on Saturday. It starts in Mt. Buller Village, goes over to Corn Hill and Howqua Gap before returning to Mt. Buller. On Sunday, the northern slopes will host the short track and the downhill.
