The Queenstown Bike Festival has been locked in for another year, returning in 2012 with all this year's action and more.
The event has been confirmed for March 31 to April 9. Festival organiser Geoff Hunt is keen to add new events.
"I don't think we are going to leave anything out that we had last year, and there's probably going to be three or four new things added as well," he said.
High on his priority list is a competitive event at the "world-class" Queenstown Jump Park, as well as a "criterium" - a high-intensity road race with very short laps, often held on closed streets in the city centre.
Also on the possibility pile is a halfpipe event, which was quoted for this year, but proved to be "too expensive in too short a time frame", and a Cyclocross race, after the success of June's national championships near Jardine Park.
Returning as part of the full programme are the three flagship events - the Corona DirtMasters Downhill, the New World Tour de Wakatipu and the Outside Sports Super D Enduro.
Many of New Zealand's top riders missed out on this year's downhill event because of a clash with the UCI International series, but Mr Hunt is hopeful next year's timing will work out favourably.
"By then, the UCI events have already started - there's one in South Africa to start with, but hopefully this year's gap allows anyone who wants to get here to do so."
Also set to take the limelight is the 18-inch championship, which sees competitors navigate a course upstairs at Revolver, on very small bikes.
Over the period of the inaugural festival, Mr Hunt said about "about 1200" bikers took part in the events, most of whom brought one or two friends along for the ride.
He did not yet see the festival trying to create a downtown buzz, but said some such events could ramp up next year.
"We are not going to jump into that one too deeply to start with, but we are talking about having a movie festival next year."
