MT TAYLOR
HOSTED BY:
THE TRACK
Dropping in off of Tower Rd and stretching 1.7kms to the bottom, the DH track will see you challenged with “The Rock Roll”, drops, newly constructed berms, the infamous “Cabbage Patch” and hand built jumps.
With a little moisture on the ground, there’s plenty of grip to be found. Without it, the track becomes dry, dusty and loose.

REGISTRATIONS
COST
$170 + credit card fee.
AUSCYCLING MEMBERSHIP
You must have full Auscycling membership (including Off Road Racing) to race. As a State level competition, 4 weeks free trial memberships are not sufficient.
PROVISIONAL ENTRY
After entering, you will receive an entry confirmation email. If this says you are 'provisionally entered', you are entered in the event. Entry becomes confirmed when you have registered at the race and collected your race plate.
PROTECTED ENTRY
Protected entries will only occur when a category is waitlisted, then priority given to the top 5-10 accordingly. As rider numbers of settled season passes have been discontinued.
WAITLISTS
There is a capacity constraint on our events which may mean you are advised you are waitlisted at entry. If you are a protected rider (top 5/10 in series depending on category), you will be prioritised from the waiting list first.
Waitlisted basically means you are waiting to see if a spot becomes available. Please stay on the waiting list as we usually are able to offer the majority of riders an entry, and we will let you know as soon as possible if we are able to accommodate you. Due to the high demand in some categories, this can mask the overall capacity of the event so please be patient and we will admit as many riders as we can.
If a spot becomes available, you will receive an automated email notifying you of your changed status. If not, you will receive a full refund.
If you no longer want to be on the waitlist, you can remove yourself by scratching and receive a full refund.
