Geelong MTB Club and Forrest MTB Club are combining forces to bring you another great double header weekend of racing.

The event includes a Senior XCO Race and an Adaptive Race.

PS: If you have a new GMBC jersey, do your club proud and wear it on the day.

We will have an Adaptive Riders Category at the Forrest Race. Adaptive riders will race for 30 mins and ride on a designated course designed for adaptive bikes.
