About Highlands Trails and Southern Highlands Cycling Club

Highlands Trails is a mountain bike club that began as a trail advocacy and trail management club, based in Wingello in the Southern Highlands. Southern Highlands Cycling Club (SHCC) recently split and although they will still offer road and track events, they have handed the mountain bike side of their operations over to Highlands Trails. Highlands Trails is proud to present their first race, managed by the same team of volunteers that have been running the SHCC mountain bike events for the past year.

All SHCC and Highlands Trail members are welcome, along with riders from any other club outside the Highlands! You just need a valid AusCycling Race Licence (Off-Road only or All-Discipline). Please see the AusCycling website under Memberships to purchase a race licence. The options are a free 4-week trial (if you haven't had one before), a day licence ($30) or a Yearly Licence (most cost effective).

Some people have made enquiries about the membership options since SHCC has split. If you would like to transfer your SHCC membership to Highlands Trails, it is free and can be done by filling in an AusCycling form, here: https://www.auscycling.org.au/page/club-transfers. Another option is to keep your membership with SHCC and add Highlands Trails as an extra club, which can be done for $10, here: https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership/other/club-add.

Note: there will be a free BBQ after the race for Highlands Trails club members! ; )
