Join us for the Summer Series 2025

Our annual Summer Series races start on Monday 10 February at Kookaburra Crest.

The ever popular NEMTB Summer Series returns, this time with a twist in the tail. Following on from the fun of the mini-gravity events held last year, each time the the Summer Series is held at Kookaburra Crest riders will have the option of either the standard lap based XC race OR to do timed gravity descents, aiming for their fastest descent.

When at SportUNE, the Summer Series is all about XC laps along the Kermit loop. 

This year the Summer Series is free for all current NEMTB Members and TAS riders. So, providing you are an NEMTB club member registered through your AusCycling license, just turn up on Monday, get your plate and join the start lineup. 

For non-members, please refer to the registration instructions on the 2025 Summer Series event page.

The series will run from Monday 10 February until Monday 31 March. First race will be held at Kookaburra Crest.

All of the details including start times, race route, categories and registration links, located on the 2025 Summer Series page. 

February 2025 Update - The Piney Rehabilitation Project 

Forest Corp NSW have commenced clear felling within the closed area of Armidale State Forest. 

Please note that while trails on the eastern side of Donald Creek remain open, FCNSW will be using one of the fire trails and the Pine Forest Road carpark to move equipment in and out of the forest and also haul out any salvaged timber. 

Riders should check for traffic when approaching the fire trail crossing when on 16 Beers and take care when crossing. Same applies to the linking fire trail section from near Double Dip through to Ghost. 

Club members and riders are requested to stay out of the closed section of The Piney, bounded by Rockvale Road, Donald Creek and Tilbuster Ponds. 

As stated, trails on the eastern side Donald Creek, accessible from the Pine Forest Road carpark, are open for riding. Alternatively, please use the SportUNE, Fat Tyre Farm, and Robbers Run trail networks for your mountain biking fix.
