About Highlands Trails

In 2022, Highlands Trails took over the responsibility of running all mountain bike events in the Southern Highlands. Previously Southern Highlands Cycling Club organised events in road, track and MTB, but they now specialise in only road and track. Highlands Trails has cared for the trails of Wingello for many years and has now taken on the custodianship of looking after all mountain bike trails in the Southern Highlands. We are a family oriented club, looking to promote riding in the beautiful Southern Highlands area of NSW. Please visit our website www.highlandstrails.com.au for additional information.

Event Summary

Please note: this race was to be held on 30th April but with lots of rain forecast we have postponed it to Sunday May 7th. Then the weather closed in again so it was cancelled in its original form and is now the first round of our winter two hour series.

Ride the two hours solo or enter as a pair and take turns completing laps! If you previously entered as solo and want to change your entry to a team just email Meaghan.stanton@bigpond.com to adjust your entry.

This race marks the reopening of the single tracks at Wingello, after the fires of 2020 decimated the forest and spoiled all the existing trails. Be the first to test ride the newly refurbished trails!

Please note all entry is online - CUTOFF is at 10:00am on Sunday, so that we have time to print start lists etc before heading to the track.

This two hour race will be held on a loop of around 7-8km. Race for two hours (or less if you like) and complete as many laps as you can in that time, either in your own or in a team. Number plate pickup any time after 12:45pm, racing at 2pm for all categories.

Riders may do a practice lap around the course between 12:30pm-2:00pm, before racing begins, but bear in mind the loop is quite long.

There are categories for all ages, from beginners and young kids to experienced racers. $10 adults, $5 children.

U9s and U11s will do a modified course but will race at the same time as the adult categories and can race in teams of two or three.

New members welcome!

To enter you will need a valid AusCycling Race Licence. Please go to Membership on the AusCycling website if you are not currently a member.

Note: U17s are turning 13-16 in 2023. U13s are turning 11-12 in 2023. U11s are turning 9-10 in 2023 and may ride a modified course. Riders who are U11 and want to complete the adult course can enter U13s. U9s are turning anything up to 8 in 2023 and will ride a modified course.

Any problems with entry, please email meaghan.stanton@bigpond.com.
