St Helens Winter Race Series

About us

Riding bikes is fun. Pedal Heads Inc want to share their passion for Mountain bikes with our local community, that's why we are hosting a Winter Race Series for all levels. Non Members are welcome.

About the race

We're hosting a series of four events, each held on one of our gravity trails, each testing your skills in a different way. You can practise as much as you like (in fact we encourage it!) and on race day you will have a two hour window to ride as often as you like in pursuit of your own personal best. We will celebrate the fastest person in each category of each race. The series winner will be the person with the best three results (which keeps you in contention if you miss one race) and we'll have some great prices in store.

About Race 4 - Giant St Helens Mack10 (28 August 2022)

Mack10 is the newest of the St Helens gravity trail and a must-ride for those who like to save rubber by keeping the wheels off the ground. The trail is fast, flowy and there are more jumps that one could possibly hit in a single run. The main question will be: is it faster to fly or to stay on the ground? No doubt our Elite riders (and probably our super fast youth riders) will show us the right answer.

The trail also includes the iconic roll between two massive rocks (but not over!) and a huge rock-armoured berm. The start will be at the top from where Race 2 started, and the finish line will be where Mack10 joins Rock Lobster. This means the race will involve some climbing up from the Send Helen's Icarus turn off and a bit more on Rock Lobster down.

Before you jump in & sign up

Please note that you need to have an MTBA or AusCycling RACE or DAY license - please check before you sign up. We're sure your bike is in great nick, with working brakes, no play in the bearings and plugged bar ends. Since we'll be racing on gravity trails we'll require you to bring your full face helmet (we accept models with removable chin bars). Juniors will be required to wear knee & long sleeves or elbow guards & full finger gloves but we hope everyone will be wearing those. Neck, back protection & body armour is recommended.

If you don't want to race

That's not a reason to stay at home! We need marshals to help keep our riders safe, and spectators who cheer them on. In any case bring something to make a lot of noise with!
