Rounds 1 and 2

ON SATURDAY 29th Feb 2020, we kick off the 2020 WA Gravity Enduro Series in Margaret River taking refuge from the summer sun under towering trees, shralping beautifully sculptured berms and jumps and brushing off the cobwebs and opening the lungs from a summer-break.

ON SUNDAY 1st March 2020, we head to the Dunsborough and Districts Country Club and ride some fun (and pedally) trails to really dial things in for the year ahead. Although relatively flat, the Cape Mountain Bikers and supporters have done an amazing job squeezing in as many jumps and berms as possible, plus a little bit of gnarly action out back.

These rounds can be purchased separately or can be purchased as a ‘One-Two Race Weekend Entry’ package with a MASSIVE 25% discount applied in the Checkout!
