About

Albany Mountain Bike Club is proud to present another great Cross Country round for the season on the grounds of Camp Quaranup! These trails are not normally open to the public with raw trails in places, some mandatory dismounts and spectacular views this is one not to miss! 

It’s time to dust of the bike, get some gear on and hit the trails. Race against your mate or rival, challenge yourself or bring a friend for some MTB trail fun. Know someone who doesn’t ride but wants some of the action? Supply a marshall and get a free entry.
