The Outer Wombat is BACK!

We are excited to be back racing at Wombat State Forest. We’ve got two fully timed race distances to choose from, a 50 & 80 km route.

A 60-minute 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) on 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.
