Sunday 4 July 2010 - Cromer Forest, Cricks Mill Road, Cromer

The Tribe Triathlon Club is pleased to present the Cromer Forest mountain bike duathlon events. Cromer Forest is part of Mount Crawford Forest Reserve, near Mount Pleasant in the northern Mt Lofty Ranges. Travelling from Adelaide via Gorge Road to Gumeracha, turn left to Forreston and travel approximately 15km until you reach a T-junction. Turn left and then right soon after taking the road towards Mount Pleasant. Travel about 4km to the park entrance on the left. It’s a great location with lots to do and see in the area - museums, local wineries, or touring the scenic countryside. Come the day before with friends and family and make a weekend of it.
