Rocky Trail Entertainment is thrilled to announce the Fox Superflow® Diamonds Hour, an initiative dedicated to inspiring more women to experience the thrill of mountain biking. Designed to provide a supportive and safe environment, our Diamonds Hour is about fostering connection, confidence, and camaraderie among women riders.
Taking place at Fox Superflow® races across Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT and Queensland, this initiative is perfect for women of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re new to mountain biking or looking to challenge yourself in a welcoming atmosphere, Diamonds Hour ensures an unforgettable experience.
What Is the Diamonds Hour?
The Diamonds Hour is a special racing session held on Saturdays at Fox Superflow events, inspired by our original Diamonds Race. Starting at 11 am, this dedicated hour offers women-exclusive access to the tracks, ensuring a relaxed and empowering experience. Riders will progress through three tracks in a structured sequence, with each track closed to other participants for approximately 10-15 minutes.
This unique approach allows women to ride at their own pace, free from pressure, and with ample time to enjoy leisurely transitions between tracks.
Participation is optional and included in the general race entry fee. Riders are welcome to race on their own schedule before and after the Diamonds Hour.
