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 almost everything you need (apart from travel), so you can focus on what matters most - riding your bike.

Bike Setup & Mechanical Support

We'll check your bike setup and make any adjustments to ensure you're getting the best performance possible out of your bike. We'll have tools, a range of basic spare parts, and can fix most mechanicals.

Catering

We’ll provide water, electrolytes and snacks during trail time PLUS you have the option to order a lunch roll from a local deli for lunch each day. All you need to do is turn up and ride!

Saturday Dinner

We’ll organise a table at a local restaurant in Culburrra Beach for a team dinner, partners are welcome (dinner is at own cost). You can select the dinner option during registration.

Accommodation

We're organising accommodation in spacious cabins at Culburra Beach Holiday Haven park, which you can add-on as an option when booking.

Mountain bike - please make sure your bike is mechanically sound and clean. As well as the more obvious safety points, your bike must have handlebar end plugs fitted.
Helmet(s) - we recommend bringing an open face for the trail skills and full face for the flow/jumps sessions (Australian Standards AS/NZS 2063 approved)
Body armour, knee pads, elbow pads, gloves
Tube, chain quick link, multi-tool, mini-pump
Water - please come with your bottles/hydration pack full; refills will be available at the venue
Wet or cold weather clothing (fingers crossed not needed!)

This Shredcation is open to riders over the age of 16 and who are capable early intermediate or high intermediate level mountain bikers with reasonable experience of off-road riding.

If you've not received any MTB specific coaching before we highly recommend you join us for an MTB Fundamentals clinic first or any of our more advanced classes to best prepare for what will be a great riding experience.

We can offer accommodation as an add-on - cabin share (own room) or no share (own cabin) in spacious cabins at nearby Culburra Beach Holiday Haven park. This park is situated on Culburra Beach Headland and has direct access to the beach. Our team dinner will be at a nearby restaurant on the Saturday night.

Cabin Share (own room) 22 & 23 May: $175
Own Cabin (no share) 22 & 23 May: $280

Feel free to contact us if you need an accommodation option that isn't one of the above, e.g. bringing your family, camping etc. and we'll happily do our best to organise that for you.

If you'd like to organise your own accommodation, then options within a 15 min drive of the trails are Nowra, Culburra Beach, Currarong, and Callala Beach.

We highly recommend supporting the businesses that sponsor the club. Holiday Haven is one of these, and has holiday parks in convenient locations from which to base yourself from for the weekend's riding.
