Adaptive Riders are welcome to race in all our events. Although we do not have enough entrants to create a separate category at this stage, adaptive riders are eligible to compete in whatever grade they feel suit their ability level. We are always considerate of the needs of the adaptive rider and will do our best to run courses that also cater for their needs as well as the rest of our members. As an adaptive rider if you can let us know in advance then we can also alter our courses even more to cater for your needs

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

The event includes a Senior XCO Race

Please ensure you have cleaned your bike so as not to bring pathogens to the Otways Forest
