Welcome to the super popular Fox Superflow ROUND FOUR – the final race as part of this year’s QLD South Series at Mt Joyce!
Mt Joyce, known for its historical racing scene in the early 90s, provides the perfect venue to cap off a stellar season of Queensland Superflow events. From Atherton to Mt Joyce the crew have been enjoying meeting new riders who we are sure will become regular #rockytrailracers in 2022.
Mt Joyce is known for its big climbs, but you will be rewarded with over 16+min race time this weekend!
Part of the QLD South Series!

Mount Joyce Mountain Bike Trails – Wyaralong Dam Access – The Mount Joyce Mountain Bike Trails are located at Lake Wyaralong, accessed via Yugambeh Drive. The Event Hub and Event parking will be located above the Eastern Trail access carpark. Follow the signs up to the big open paddock for site parking adjacent to the Hub.
Important: Wyaralong Dam is an SEQ Water asset and they are the land managers of the Mt Joyce Mountain Bike Park. As tempting as the water might be, unfortunately there is no swimming permitted as the water is part of the drinking water of Brisbane and surrounds.
