Event Summary

XCO, Wingello Forest, Sunday 19th April, 2pm.

This event will be based on a 15km loop comprising around 9km of Firetrail and 6km of single trail. There are categories for all ages, from beginners and young kids to experienced racers. New members welcome!

Adults can choose to ride in C, B or A grade, which corresponds to 1, 2 or 3 laps of the 15km course, so that you ride 15, 30 or 45km in total.

E-Bike, U15 rand U17 riders should specify in the comments of their entry the number of laps they would like to ride, and we will work out a consensus among those entered. If there are a decent number of riders aged over 50 and doing the same number of laps, we will separate them into their own category.

Riders who are U9, U11 and U13 will need to be able to ride 1 lap of the course. Adults are welcome to ride with/behind their children.

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

Number plate pickup any time after 1:00pm, racing at 2pm for all categories. On entering the forest, look for signs pointing to the event start/finish, which will be near the horse float parking area, on the far side of the new camping area.

Riders may do a practice lap around the 6km XCO course between 1:00pm-2:00pm, before racing begins if they wish, but the main 15km course will probably be too long to need a practice lap as the remaining 9km will be made up of fire trail. Also, the XCO course does not contain anything so radical that you need to have practised it beforehand.

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.

New members welcome!
