Mini MTB Stage Races built for the Weekend Warrior!
We are all about great trails, beautiful tourism destinations and a race format that is totally different.
Each event has been curated to pair the best locations with the best trails, creating an awesome weekend away to a region that you maybe wouldn’t have considered travelling to before. Each destination is hand picked – for both Trails and Tourism!
Podium glory is also done differently at our events. We search to crown the best Weekend Warrior using a unique handicap system, designed to recognise the riders who race most consistently, to the best of their own ability, over all of the stages!
Best of all, you will only need to take no more than one day off work to attend each event.
And did we mention Value? Each one of our events are priced to be affordable so that more people can get back into doing events – offering the best value for money of all of the major MTB events across Australia.
Pick the event you want to do, but a word of warning, once you have done one you will want to do them all!

Introducing the Stage 2 Course for the 2025 Orca on Sunday the 14th of September!
The final stage of The Orca ’25 will start with a rollout from the Hotel Australasia down the main street of Eden and out to the incredible new trail network at Gravity Eden MTB Park. With the new start and finish venue in town, the brutal 10km of climbing to start last year’s course is gone, with riders instead enjoying a casual 2km warm up of the legs, before heading into 30km of some of the best trails in Australia. Stage 2 will once again be highlighted by the incredible 8km Wilderness Trail (Round The Outside), possibly the best descent you will ever ride, as well as featuring a number of new trails added to last year’s stage. The challenge for riders once again will be that whilst you will love the flowing descents, the paydirt comes from the climbs and there will be a few of them! Finishing back at Hotel Australasia in the middle of Eden, you can end the weekend right with a bite to eat washed down by a drink or two, before you contemplate a return to the real world.

Introducing the Stage 1 Course for the 2025 Orca on Saturday the 13th of September!
Riders will gather on Saturday morning at the iconic Tathra Hotel, the start and finish location for Stage 1 of The Orca, which overlooks Boulder Bay. Ahead lies a wonderful mix of 35km of coastal trails and old school single track, with just over 650m of elevation spread pretty evenly throughout. The course will see riders head south to begin, on a loop out and back to Games Bay, before they encounter a myriad of single track in the second half of the stage, featuring fun and flowy descents, technical climbs and all of the best of the 25km of trails at Bundadung, passionately maintained by the crew at Tathra MTB Club. The stage will begin with a mass rollout up the main street, before riders finish back through town with amazing views of the South Pacific Ocean. Once done enjoy a well-earned lunch and a couple of drinks on the deck, then consider getting the body into the ocean to recharge at one of the many coastal pools along the Sapphire Coast!

Introducing the Prelude Course for The 2025 Orca on Friday the 12th of September!
The Prelude for The Orca will start and finish at the main Gravity Eden Trail Hub and feature a selection of some of the best trails right in the heart of the Gravity Eden Park.
The time trial is a “must do” on Friday afternoon in order to not only get your handicap for the weekend stages but also to get your first taste of the incredible single trail that will keep you smiling all weekend long. Starting in 30 second intervals from 3pm, riders will enjoy a short 10km blast at their own pace before heading into town for the Welcome Function that night.

We regret to advise that we have to cancel the Sunny 80 event scheduled for June on the Sunshine Coast due to the inordinate amount of rain experienced there over the past month. After Cyclone Alfred dropped almost 400mm in 48 hours in early March, the area received another 325mm of rainfall over the past week. After consultation with Parks and Council, many of the trails we planned to use at Parklands and Ewen Maddock are currently under water so we could not proceed with any confidence in delivering the event in June. All registered riders will receive a full refund or can transfer their entry to either of our coming events - The Orca (NSW) in September, The Wild Penguin (Tas) in November or The Mystic Yak (Vic) in March 2026. Thank you for your understanding and we wish everyone in Queensland and Northern NSW a speedy recovery in those communities affected by the flooding. ❤️🙏🏻👑
