Nowra Shredcation

We’re launching the first of our 'Shredcation' Ride Weekends - a chance to get away and spend quality time with the one you love… your bike! It’s also the perfect opportunity to rack up some serious trail time while receiving in-depth coaching from us on the trails built and maintained by the fabulous South Coast United Mountain Bikers (SCUM) in the Shoalhaven.

​

You may already be familiar with the SCUM trails, but if you’re not, you’re in for a treat. Nestled in the beautiful Currambene State Forest just south of Nowra - and right next door to the stunning beaches of Jervis Bay - the trails are only a 2.5 hour drive from Sydney or Canberra.

 

The SCUM trail network received a major upgrade a few years ago and now offers a great mix of variety and challenge in a compact area. For coaching, it’s ideal: plenty of different terrain and trail features, plus three jump lines that range from mild to wild.

​

This weekend is the perfect primer for building confidence on gravity-driven, “bike park” style trails before heading to bigger destinations like Narooma, Mogo or Barrington.

​

We’ll organise everything you need (apart from travel & accommodation), so you can focus on what matters most - riding your bike.

​

Dates:​​

Saturday 2 May, 9.30-4.00pm & Sunday 3 May 2026, 8.30am-3.00pm

​

The Details:

• Location: Currambene State Forest, South Nowra NSW

• Travel: Own transport
