2026 Round 3 MVMTB 2hr

Nothing quite beats two hours of solid threshold work on our local singletrack. The Macleay Valley Mountain Bike Club XC event brought out a small selection of the top endurance riders, from Grafton to Port Macquarie. Riders were test for both endurance and line choice across a fast-flowing course, presented in some of the best conditions for a while.

With 120 minutes on the clock, the goal was simple: a calculated effort rather than blowing matches to early. Settling into a steady rhythm on just Lap 1 allowed us to let the initial eager surges pass before putting pressure on the steady climbs. Local shredder Tom Jenkins had a 2hr warmup starting in the 4hr and went with the e-bike rider when he caught us and they both powered up the main climb on Lap 1.

Smooth line selection through the more technical sections payed off, preserving energy and keeping mechanical risk low as the 20min laps ticked over.

We were pretty sure we were maintaining tight lap splits with minimal drop-off across the full 2 hours. We caught back up to Tom in the closing laps, a couple of minor errors in line selection from him gave us the indication he was tiring and we slipped past.

We carried speed through all the technical descending sectors to minimise accelerations out of corners as we paced out the last few laps.

It was a great afternoon on the dirt and another solid building mountain bike ride in the bank. Nice to catch up with Supavest Team mates as we look to our next events.

We were happy with a win in the 2hr.

2026 Nannup Gravel Tour

The 2026 Nannup Gravel Tour delivered three highly demanding stages of virtual gravel racing on the rugged, rolling terrain of Western Australia’s South West region. We navigated a high-paced 3-stage tour that tested our timing with punchy climbing and our endurance over the key stages from Brockman, Adina to Lewana, and the Ellis to Glacier finale.

Stage 1: Brockman

Fast-flowing rolling gravel, designed to fragment early breakaway attempts.

Stage 2: Adina to Lewana

Kick-started by the 1 km Adina Climb before transitioning into undulating roads with variable gradient shifts. We rode a tactical race, pacing the initial gradient spikes and utilising draft dynamics on the flatter mid-stage stretches to maintain a solid position.

Stage 3: Ellis to Glacier

With the decisively steep Ellis Creek ascent before topping out on a high plateau rolling down to the finish. 

Each stage we banked critical points for the series, placing 5th in points and 5th overall on GC time.
