Thredbo is one of the oldest mountain bike racing destinations in Australia and we thought we would hit you up with some Fun Facts;

1 – Your wheels turn just over 1800 times to cover the whole distance of the track (providing you don’t ET every jump!).

2 – Assuming they hit the jump and cleaned it riders would only need to hit the new jump in the middle of the track 345 times to cover the whole distance of theA�track.

3 – The average rider would burn over 500 calories on race weekend from just riding their bike alone!

4 – Mount Kosciuszko is the highest mountain in AustraliaA�at 2,228m above sea level and is named after a Polish freedom fighter.

5 -A�The airA�pressure in your tyreA�at the top of the track wouldA�read 1 psiA�higher on a guageA�than if you were reading itA�at the beach.
