The Outer Wombat is BACK!

After a year off, we are excited to be back riding at Wombat State Forest. A 60 min drive from Melbourne, this is an absolute riding Mecca, just next to the town of Woodend.

This is a doubleheader weekend, with gravel racing (or riding) Saturday and the Wombat Classic Shifty Fifty on Sunday.

From the day’s riding, you can expect premium gravel roads, fast + smooth descents, and of course some BIG smiles.

You can either compete or complete this course. It’s fully timed with a podium at the end, so perfect if you’re looking to challenge your mates or yourself.

ROUTE MAP

A brand new design in 2023, the route comprises of well-maintained fire trails, gentle gravel, and quality gravel. Expect some scrubby bush and fast-rolling flats across the day.

You’ll do 74km with just over 1,100 high metres across the day. An average rider would take around 4-5 hours to complete the route.

If you’d prefer something shorter, there is a shortcut at the 42km point which takes off 15kms.

On the course, we’ll have a feed and water station set up at the halfway point, but make sure you come loaded with a few bottles, food, and of course spare tubes!
