Coffs Harbour Mountain Bike Club members are out there enjoying the bush year round. We meet regularly for casual relaxed racing on State Forest trails, alternating between our favourite tracks (we can’t decide which one we love the most). Refer to site calendar for dates of events.

Race Formats

ENDURO events challenge riders to complete as many laps as possible in the time allocated – ie: 2, 3, 4, 6 hrs. You can ride solo or in a team, racing non stop or cruising and resting whenever you feel like it.

CROSS COUNTRY racing will have you graded A, B, C, or beginner, based on your ability. Each grade is allocated a number of laps to complete – the higher the grade you are the more laps you do. The aim is to do your laps as fast as you can. First across the line is the winner.

DH events are held regularly at the excellent Mt. Coramba venue. Events include club as well as state rounds. The track is well used by local and visiting riders on non-race days as well. Dates posted on calendar when available.

Race Track Descriptions

COWS WITH GUNS

  • Follow Pine Creek Way through Bonville south of Archville Station Road to Sid Burke Rest Area. This is a great introductory track which offers gently undulating, flowing single and double track hugging the banks of Pine Creek. The faster you go the harder it gets. Too much fun!
  • Park the car at Sid Burke Rest Area and ride into Cows via the dirt via the "Back of Burke" track. Look for the single track to the north of the toilets and follow it near the fence line. After 800m, cross the fence and continue another 500m unitil you reach the Cows with Guns circuit. Back of Burke is getting plenty of use now, so it's easy to follow and there are trailhead signs along the way.

    The Pleasure and Pain Enduro is our annual headline event, rated as one of the most enjoyable MTB enduros in Oz. The Pleasure and Pain is set on a 25km fast & flowing circuit combining the Cows with Guns and Pine Creek courses with a bunch more single track and the odd bit of fire road. Choose from 25km, 50km or 100km distances. Previous winners include Jason English, Trudy Nicholas, Craig Gordon and Sharon Heap. The Pleasure & Pain will be held on 9th of September 2012. Keep an eye on our website for registration opening.
