Event Overview
24-hour MTB racing is the ultimate test of endurance
It is a Solo, Team Relay and Kids mountain biking event starting at 12pm Saturday and finishing at 12pm Sunday.
Solo Legacy
Australia is the home of some of the most successful 24-hour Solo Mountain Bike Champions and you will compete alongside them. Sleep = overrated.
Teamwork makes the dream work
Compete with your mates and decide as a team how many laps each person rides – do 1 or a whole bunch in pairs, threes, fours or teams of six..
There IS rest for the wicked
If 24 hours sound a bit too big or you’re looking to introduce someone new to the sport we have a 6+6hr event that could suit you! Awesome vibe to race for 6hrs on Saturday, then get to rest overnight from 6pm. Re-start at 6am as the sun rises.
The perfect event for a social mountain biking getaway
Get your mates together and bring the whole family! Lots to do for them in the region while you race. We’ll put on a free kids time trial to tire out the little shredders for you. use to highlight features.
Riders compete for prizes and bragging rights
Set up on the lush meadows of the showgrounds at Rydal – camp and team base right next to your car! Experience a weekend filled with camaraderie and fun racing on the awesome Lidsdale MTB trails that you’ll never forget!

What our racers say
Thank you for promoting such a well organised event last weekend in Rydal,
It was my first time mtb racing and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Your attention to details such as sufficient and quality food available, clean and well maintained (lots of toilet paper) amenities, music and charging station (e-bike rider 😁) was much appreciated.
Kudos also to outer image collective their staff were unobtrusive yet friendly, the competitors were all polite and courteous whether passing or being passed and helpful which speaks volumes for our discipline.
Thank you again, see you next year.
Just home from my first 24hr Jetblack MTB event. Had the best time, great atmosphere, very positive and encouraging. Really well organized, definitely be back next year and will recommend others to support and join in!
Nice, casual, well run events with a variety of options for types of riders.
Great staff, MTB racing and MTB in NSW has been revitalized thanks to Martin and his crew.
