COVID-19 UPDATE

In response to the developing situation nationally concerning COVID-19 outbreaks and related restrictions, AusCycling, unfortunately, has made the difficult decision to cancel the AusCycling Mountain Bike Schools National Championships scheduled to be held on the Gold Coast from 13-15 August.

This is obviously very disappointing for all involved however out of anyone’s control.

Riders who have entered via EntryBoss can scratch from the event at any time to be provided with a full refund - https://entryboss.cc/

We thank all our riders, partners, hosts and spectators for their understanding and cooperation.
