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.

August 2026 Update - The Piney Rehabilitation Project

The planned hazard reduction burn has been completed by FCNSW, with the majority of the piles of leftover timber now gone. We're now waiting on further information from FCNSW re planned timing of replanting the cleared area. Weed spraying across this area will be ongoing as part of ongoing site management.

Please pay attention to any signage indicating the area is closed during works in this area.

A recent inspection by the club committee confirmed that the previous trail network within the cleared area is all but non-existent. We're looking at options for rebuilding the trails including funding opportunities and infrastructure needs.

Trails on the eastern side Donald Creek remain open and are easily accessible from the Pine Forest Road carpark. Note that we have been working to extend the trail network, with ~8km of trails now open.
