The famous Noosa Enduro is back this weekend and riders are preparing for an epic weekend of riding in the Noosa Hinterland.
Taking in some of Noosa’s most spectacular off-road real estate, participants will be guided through stunning trails, tracks, mountains and tablelands while tackling some of the Coast’s most difficult terrain.
Turning the Noosa Hinterland into one giant playground, the epic trails have been tried, tested and ready for those up for the challenge.
One of the biggest highlights for the weekend (and you don’t even need to race for this one) is the Enduro Village. Free to the local community, the Enduro Village is complete with kids’ races and events, mountain bike demos, a cycling expo, craft beer and wine, plus so much more.
The Enduro Village is the central point for all events. Riders will disembark from the village for the ride of their life before returning to the finish line so spectators can also get a taste of the action while kicking back and relaxing in the Village atmosphere.
Event director Matt Wilson encouraged locals to come on down and check it out, there’s something for everyone.
“We’re so excited to finally be bringing the Noosa Enduro back this weekend. The biggest and best addition this year is the Enduro Village which is free for the whole community to enjoy and we’ve got so much planned from mountain bike femos by former world champions to a cycling expo that features major brands like Wahoo, Pirelli, Black Sheep, Trek and more,“ Matt said.
“We’ve also got plenty for the kids with their races starting at 9am plus the Wheely Fun team will also be rolling into the Enduro Village. Run by fully accredited coaches, this program is the perfect way for your little ones to learn new skills and build confidence while riding in a traffic-free environment.
“And on top of all that we have live entertainment and plenty of local hospitality to enjoy, so settle in for the afternoon and enjoy the atmosphere. The Local Bar will feature a range of craft beer and wine plus refuel from our selection of food trucks.”
While Saturday is pretty much sold out, Matt encouraged any cyclists who might still be considering Sunday’s Dirty Fondo to jump online and book now.
“Sunday’s Dirty Fondo offers two options taking in up to 150km of the Coast’s most picturesque roads, unsealed gravel stretches and Noosa’s epic hinterland with some challenging climbs and steep descents. This ride is suited to riders of any skill and a basic fitness level. If you’re still considering it, don’t miss the chance to explore a different side of Noosa during this epic two-day off road cycling festival,“ Matt said.
