Shimano Mountain Bike Grand Prix Race | Kempsey

What is there to do in a coastal region when the weather turns chilly? The answer is, plenty, especially when winter in the Macleay is mostly blue clear skies and crisp, cooler days – perfect mountain bike racing conditions for the Shimano MTB GP! This is 'seriously fun' racing where podium chasers can line up with Australia’s elites and experienced amateur and casual racers, all feeling safe and part of an inspiring community. This race will take you to one of those hidden gems on the NSW North Coast, the Kalateenee MTB Trails. Think fast and flowy trails with fun features in the so typical bushland just off the Coast. Race for four (GP4) or seven (GP7) hours solo, in relay pairs or teams of three. There are age-group and eBike categories. Expect less of a winners-only-focused competition, but a positive and inclusive experience for all racers. With temporary COVID-19 event rules active, they have a participant limit in place - please check the event website for all the details. Competitors must sign up online. This event is tracking all participants and any non-racing spectator or supporter must register online for an event accreditation at no charge. This is XC lap racing at its best! Bring the whole family for the perfect riding and winter racing weekend getaway on the Macleay Valley Coast.
