EVENT INFORMATION
Introducing DERBYFEST! A weekend long celebration of everything we love about this incredible town. Two days of bikes, racing, billycarts, ducks, running, live music, food, family fun and a whole lot of Derby character, just the way we like it!
Let’s race… Two options to choose from here, and you may as well do both! On Saturday afternoon we’ll be hosting the first ever ‘MTB Direct Air-Ya-Garn AIRFLOW Race’ in conjunction with the Blue Derby community. MTB Direct have kindly put up a $3000 prize purse, and it’s winner takes all across a limited numbers of categories. You don’t want to miss this!
Sunday is all about the TASGRAV MINI-DURO! Proper Enduro racing, but a bit shorter and friendly on the body. We’re only just coming out of Winter after all… Expect 3-5 stages depending on your category, on blue and black trails, with a shuttle uplift included in your entry. Cheap entry and good times, bring it on!
