The Winter races are held during Autumn thru Winter and is a 1.5 to 2 hour cross country (XC) race. This year we've reduced the number of events while planning for an event in early Spring - more details to follow.
This years Winter Race and Club Championship event will be held at The Piney on Sunday 31 May. With the tracks at The Piney running schmick at the moment, this will be a fun event for those wanting to go hard or those just wanting a bit of social riding.
The race will start at 11:30 am. For NEMTB members with a current AusCycling race license, no registration is needed. For Non-members wanting to participate, registration is required. All of the details including the rego link can be found on our 2026 Winter Racing page.
This will be the Club Championship event, so for those wanting a spot on the podium, please check out the eligibility criteria on the Club Champions page.
Time to get your race-face on.....
The leftover timber within harvested area has now been stacked in windrows. FCNSW intend to burn off these piles in mid to late Autumn 2026. Weed spraying across this area is expected to be undertaken as part of ongoing site management.
Please pay attention to any signage indicating the area is closed during works in this area.
Trails on the eastern side Donald Creek remain open and are easily accessible from the Pine Forest Road carpark.
