Welcome to Wagga Wagga, Wiradjuri country, the land of our ancestors, home of the Wiradjuri people.
The Wiradjuri Welcome is the Saturday warm up before rider rego. Don't be fooled though – this one has some steep hills. Expect mixed surfaces – a combination of bike paths, tunnels, road and gravel, some scenic river views, and a hectic incline that will have you off the saddle and pushing.
We reckon this course suitable for riders of intermediate level and can be completed on mountain bikes (recommended), or gravel bikes. You must be self-sufficient and proficient at changing tyres should the need arise.
dirty 130
// Gravel ride through farms, on course beers, and 130kms of fun
Date: Sunday, 5th October 2025
Time: 7am
Cost: $140
So much awaits the course veterans and unassuming newbies. We are doing a bit of a switcheroo this year. It's backwards and some new sections thrown in.
This picturesque and challenging course has plenty of gravel, a bit of climbing, and lots of on-farm trails through private property. Dead Camel Lane (our wildest gravel sector on course) is often featured.
It all ends with a roll back home on the black stuff and a pit stop at the Thirsty Crow Brewery less than 1km out from the finish line (look for free beer signs!).
Then, you are back at the festival chillin' to tunes with a cold brew in hand.
Please note, the Dirty130 goes through private property. Please don't ride this course before the day – we want our awesome farmers to continue letting us experience their properties in future years.
salty 70
// Gravel ride (aka Sic60 / Filthy50)
Date: Sunday, 5th October 2025
Time: 830am
Cost: $70
Always evolving and improving, the Salty70 is has all the vibe of the Dirty130 just in a smaller dose. Some pinchy climbs on rural mostly un-sealed roads. It's a popular option for those looking to get back to the festival to enjoy the first beers on offer. Be warned though, it's a good gravel hit out that typically leaves riders with an appetite to take on the Dirty130 in future years. Formerly known as the Sic60 and Filthy50, we've extended it to 60kms for some added fun this year.
The Salty 70km course is suitable for riders of intermediate level and can be completed on mountain bikes, road bikes or gravel bikes. You must be self-sufficient and proficient at changing tyres should the need arise.
roadie 105
// 105km mostly sealed road
Date: Sunday 5th October 2025
Time: 8am
Cost: $100
The course has been refreshed this year to give our loyal roadies something new and to improve safety on course. You will ride 97kms of sealed road through some of the best farming country in the Riverina with a new 8km section of unsealed road (suitable for roadies), visiting the rural towns of Coolamon and Marrar. Be sure to stop and chill at our pit stop in Coolamon, taste the homemade anzac biscuits and make some friends. The 8km of unsealed road (Marravale Road) is a wide, flat, straight, premium gravel surface (25mm roadie slicks will eat it up) and added for rider safety. There's an aid station on the unpaved section + extra inflation support for your peace of mind. You've got this!
An alternative route for riders who choose not to ride on the dirt section is here. Any riders wishing to detour the dirt must ride this official alternative route for safety.

This short ride follows the scenic Wiradjuri Walking / Cycle Track and heads out to the Marrambidya Wetland, before returning back to the festival through a strawberry farm.
