Enduro/Trail Rides

If racing cross country through tight bush trails and fast open tracks appeals to you, then this is for you.

It’s a case of rider and bike versus the elements, testing their physical endurance across a variety of terrain, events ranging from casual trail rides to Australian Championship events.

Enduro are mostly competition events where the rider and bike versus the elements, testing their physical endurance and stamina for a nominated time. These tracks can be marked through tight timber, open plains, hills, gullies and creeks, creating gruelling environments that test the rider’s ability and endurance.

Trail rides are a more casual style of ridding, tracks are marked similar to enduro however normally not quite as challenging. Trail rides focus on family friendly events catering for all age and level of rider ability.

Trail rides normally have multiple tracks with varying degree of difficulty providing safe and enjoyable environment for riders from beginners to the experienced rider.

Most Enduro and Trail Ride events are held on private property comprising with natural train tracks marked with directional arrows.

Motocross and Trail bikes are suitable for competing in these types of events and in most cases these events are open to registered and non-registered motorcycles.

Motocross

Motocross is a racing sport where participants ride motorcycles over rough terrain. The courses have to be one to three miles long, and they need to have different obstacles for the riders. No two courses are alike, and that can make motocross more demanding than other racing sports.

Courses vary widely but must be 1.5 to 5 km (1 to 3 miles) in length in international competition, with steep uphill and downhill grades, wet or muddy areas, and many left and right turns of varying difficulty. Motocross is probably the most physically demanding motorcycle sport, although its races are quite short—40 minutes or less for each of the two heats of a race.

Riders must use the same motorcycle throughout a race, with repairs made between heats if necessary. A cotton jersey, nylon pants padded at the knee and thigh, padded boots and gloves, a helmet and goggles, a plastic chest protector, and a kidney belt for support constitute the usual outfit of the motocross cyclist.
