GMBC is pleased to run another edition of No Frills Racing On Tour at the fantastic tracks in Anglesea, hosted by our close friends at Surf Coast Mountain Bike Club (SCMTB)

We're mixing it up this year by holding a three-hour cross-country endurance race (XCEN) open to solo riders or teams of two. Riders in teams must complete one lap on, one lap off (i.e. not two laps back-to-back). There will be a transition/pits area just after the start/finish line to hand over to your team-mate. Feel free to set up a mini-marquee or tables and chairs in this area next to the track.There is also a Junior (Ages 13 to 16) category that races for two-hours.

The course lap will be approximately 7 kms and you can to complete as many laps as you want to within the three hours (or two for U17 riders). When the checkered flag comes out at your cut off time of either two hours for U17 and three hours for all other riders, you will not be able continue on another lap.

Presentations will commence ~30 mins after your race cut off time and we encourage everyone to hang around after the race as we will have free post race drinks and a BBQ to help recover and swap war stories about the past three hours of incredible racing.

SCMTB Members are also eligible for the GMBC members' discount for this race - tick the box for GMBC membership during entry (note that we will be checking!).


No Frills Mountain Bike Racing is for 13yo and older Male and Female Riders. The focus is on fun and gaining skills through a typical club racing format. These races involve mountain bikes and e-bike mountain bikes. This race is part of the six-race Spring Series.

Adaptive Riders are welcome to race in all our events but note this event is only suited to two-wheeled bikes due to the narrow single-track..
