Rock Wallaby Mountain Bike Enduro

Appin rocks! And Appin has lots of rocks which is why it's so fun to ride! The Rock Wallaby enduro was born in 2011 at the request of the township of Appin as part of their Bicentenary celebrations and to highlight what an oasis of singletracky goodness Appin has become.

The 2012 event will be held on Sunday 27 May, with the kind assistance of the people of Appin and Wollongong Mountain Bike Club (WMBC).

The Rock Wallaby's main act will be a 50km half marathon event, with a support act of a 25km event with a number of sub-categories within each one.

The course will entail one or two laps taking in a 26km tour of Appin’s great natural terrain – including the renowned singletrack loop which is home track to WMBC which will be uniquely split up by sections of fire trail and never-before-raced singletrack. As is well known with Appin, the riding will be technical in parts and flowy and smooth in others. It will be a challenge to ride the complete loop without dabbing, however it has been designed so as not to be too daunting for the novice rider.
