RETURN TO QLD DIRT FEST INFO

The For the Riders 50km Solo XC MTB & 20km XC MTB is a great event for all skill levels from beginners to experts to come along and try their hand at a longer distance XC MTB event in a fun atmosphere, and especially if this is your first longer distance XC MTB event , you'll have a ball!

The Mountain Bike Course is 10km Lap with competitors completing 5 or 2 Laps.

The course is varied, and is graded easy in technical difficulty. This means it can be easily achieved by everyone from beginners to experts. The big test will be competitor's endurance. The course presents a few key challenges including some hills and inclines. The course includes some fast, flowing single track riding and a particularly picturesque section of single track through the rain forest. And just to add to the fun there are a few small creek crossings.

The Qld Championship single speed category will also provide some exciting riding on the day!
