The Ourimbah GE uses Back in Black, Gravitron, Amaroo and some sections of the cross country tracks. It is a challenging track with ‘B’ (easier) lines around the difficult sections and can be very unforgiving with many rocky sections and trees that are close to the edge of the track.

Each round this season will be increasing in difficulty, longer stages where not only skills but fitness and ability to recover will play a role.

General Gravity Enduro Event Information

GE race entry fee junior or adult, member or non member are published on the event registration page. If you do not have a race licence with Auscycling you will be prompted to pay a day race licence fee.

All events use online registration. There is no registration on the day as we have to add you our timing system and its quicker to get riding. Categories are defined by your age as of the 31st December of the current year. The online registration will allocate your correct race category based on your age and gender.

All valid runs count to the overall accumulated time and in true Enduro style, time penalties will apply if you get busted getting your mates to drag you up the hill.

Registration is from 7.30am – 830am, rider briefing is primarily via email with any race day updates at 830am. Racing starts promptly at 9:00am and concludes at 12. Podiums are 12:30 – 1 pm.
