Korito Technical Matrix - March 2024

RESULTS

"Once a year the gates are opened up for the Korito Technical Matrix ( KTM ). The training tracks are joined up and you get to challenge yourself ( & your mates ) around a standard XC loop. Included in the lap are some 'single track' for the Silver and Gold classes. Plus at the end of each lap, is a matrix challenge. Great viewing beside the car park for spectators of the matrix.

Here is Patrick Dillon, showcasing the event from 2021:
