2025 Gravity Funduro

Saturday 15 November 2025 - Fat Tyre Farm

The 2025 Gravity Funduro will be held at Fat Tyre Farm on Saturday 15 November. This is an all ages gravity race. Ride up to the top, untimed with the crew, then pick one of two tracks at any one time to start your descent. It’s about some social riding, railing berms and racing all in one day. 

Plate collection will be from 1.30pm to 2pm, with the race planned to start from 2pm. If you have already been racing at the MOnday FUNDuro or hold a 4 week trial then you are set to go. Riders that have not registered for the Monday FUNDuro or that are not NEMTB club members are required to register. 

More details and the registration link can be found on 2025 Gravity Funduro event page.

Trail Status Update

SPORT UNE: PARTIAL REOPENING

Following works by the arborist, UNE have confirmed the front section of the Sport UNE trails are open. This includes Ivy League, Revelation, Full Cognition, Granny Flats, Poplars and Flat Out, providing 5km loop.

The pine forest section of Sport UNE is off limits to all everyone. Assessment by the arborist found the site too dangerous for any remediation works and UNE have formally closed that section of the campus and tracks. All riders are required to not cross the barrier tape and stay off all tracks within the pine forest area including Axe Head, Rams Horn, Short Back, Wimbledon, VC's Corner and The Moguls

The Gonozo trails, including Gonzo, Rolla Retta and Iwata, currently remain closed. These trails are still to be assessed and have remediation completed by the arborist which should happen in the next couple of weeks. 

NEMTB cannot stress enough that all riders SHOULD NOT 

1. Enter any section of trail within the pine forest at Sport UNE

2. Attempt to ride the Gonzo trails at Sport UNE until further notice

3. Cross any warning/barrier tape, whether up or down, at Sport UNE.

Please respect the trail closure notices and stay off the identified trails at Sport UNE until further notice.

Fat Tyre Farm/Robbers Run: FULLY OPEN 

Fat Tyre Farm and Robbers Run have had a lot of work put in by the trail fairies in recent weeks. All trails are open and running superb. 

Kookaburra Crest: REFURBISHED AND FULLY OPEN 

As many will already know, Kookaburra Crest has had a makeover in the past couple of weeks.

The trails, jumps and berms are in mint condition. 

The Piney (Armidale State Forest): TO BE ASSESSED

The club is yet to fully assess The Piney. Hopefully this should happen in the next few days and we will be able to organise any track works needed to reopen the trails. 

More details to follow soon.
