Surf Coast Shifty Fifty is ON this Sat, the gravel grind Sun 🙌 & the forecast is sweet 👌. Entries still available for both events. For full details including entry links, head to shiftyfifty.com.au/events/surf-coast-50/ & thisisgravel.com.au/truegrit/. For those not racing, the Eumeralla (Hurst Rd) trails will be very busy with the shifty fifty between 10am - 2pm Sat #surfcoastmtb #shiftyfifty #gravelgrind
From gravel to grit, Sundays course has a mixed bag of “gravel” conditions, from rocky fire tracks to sweeping sand berms to smooth groad you’re bound to be under or over biked at some stage (you may even be wishing your brought your braaap).
Overall we recommend +35mm tyres on anything from a drop bar gravel rocket to an XC mtb.
The True Grit course is awesome. There's fast flowy sandy sections on Harrison's, a mud pit on Peregrine, rim-breaking rocks on section of Alcoa Boundary, and some 25% pinches to test your tyre pressure and seat position...... and don't forget there's almost 1000m vertical.
My old stomping ground around scout camp, cliffs and beyond tip! 👍🏻😜🤪
