You’ve been asking, now it’s here, Intermediate Downhill racing is back! Whether you just want the race-day experience, are returning from injury, or simply want a fun day on your bike without the pressure, this event is for you. The focus is on good vibes, experience and having fun racing against yourself or your mates.
This race will be run on a blue track to be confirmed.
Are you an advanced racer or spectator? Come along, lend a hand or just make some noise and help inspire riders who are keen to give racing a go. Rowdy spectators make everything better; it’s basically science. Bonus points for enthusiastic yelling and questionable cowbell technique. Check out the volunteer perks below and build some trail karma!
