15/30/45km event, Wingello, Saturday 27th April, 2pm

Return to Wingello! Since the forest fires of 2020, Wingello has been closed as most of the old 26km loop was lost. A team of volunteers from Highlands Trails have rejuvenated part of the old loop and plans are underway for extending the network. Come and ride the first reclaimed section, which includes classic favourites such as Cover Shot, Princesses Revenge and Tangles, with some cool new features.

This event will be based on a 15km loop. 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. U9, U11 and U13 riders will ride 1 lap of the course (which may be shortened depending on the experience level of the entrants). E-Bike, U15 rand U17 riders should specify in the comments of their entry the number of laps they would like to ride.

Note that race HQ will be at the end of Martins Road (turn right as soon as you enter Wingello State Forest).

Update - cancelled due to flooding.

This two hour race will be held on a loop of around 5-6km. 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.

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.

Riders may do a practice lap around the course between 12:30pm-2:00pm, before racing begins, if they wish.

This is a short course cross country race, at Welby. XCC stands for Cross Country Criterium. Riders race around a short loop of around 1km and race for a specified time (10, 15 or 20 minutes based on category) + an extra one lap. So after the leader of a 20 minute race comes through timing for the first time after the 20 minute mark, they get a bell signalling one lap to go. Every rider behind them also gets a bell and has one lap to go (even if they have been lapped). The winner is the rider with the most laps and the shortest time.

This format is fun for kids entering their first race as there is lots of spectator support. It is also fun for elite racers and everyone in between as there is plenty of room for passing and lots of opportunity for fast riding. The adults and kids do not race at the same time, so they can cheer and heckle each other on! The number of start groups will be decided on the day based on the number of entrants in each category. All riders should be ready to race at 6:00pm.

Please note all entry is online - CUTOFF is at 2:00pm on Friday, so that we have time to print start lists etc before heading to the track.

Number plates can be collected from 5:30. We recommend riders do a practice lap around the course between 5:30pm-6:00pm, before racing begins.

Number plate pickup any time after 1:00pm, racing at 2pm for all categories.

Riders may do a practice lap around the course between 1:00pm-2:00pm, before racing begins.

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

The GD Champs is a bike race that commemorates George Dummer, a talented mountain biker and all round local legend from the Southern Highlands of NSW, who tragically passed away in 2020, aged 14. The inaugural event included Oxley College and Chevalier College. In 2022, 107 riders from many schools competed and the format changed to Enduro. In 2023 and beyond, we look forward to welcoming riders of all ages to the GD Champs.

An Enduro Format, the GD Champs features 3 fast, fun, flowing (mostly downhill) trails of 1-2km at Welby mountain bike trails. Ride all 3 trails as many times as you like to record your best times.

Categories for all age groups (U9, U11, U13, U15, U17, U19, open, 50+) and E-bike.
