Rider Briefing | Fox Superflow® Mogo Mania

We’re looking forward to welcoming you back to Mogo Trails for the Fox Superflow® Mogo Mania stage race! Are you ready to race the way you ride in Superflow® style? All weekend if you want?

Venue Info

Race Hubs:

BOTANIC GARDEN Zone

The main event center and access to these trails are based at the Mogo Trails Botanic Garden Trail head. This Race will feature trails on the northern part of the network. You can ride this network on either Saturday or Sunday. – Track info here.

MOGO TRIG Zone

This race will run in the the Mogo Trig zone which is only a short liaison ride from the main event center at the Botanic Garden Trail Head. You can ride this network on either Saturday or Sunday. – Track info here.

If you’re not racing or have people with you who want to have a fun riding experience or a shred while you race, rest assured that a huge amount of trails are still open for riding. The race uses 3 stages (5 trails) at the Botanic Garden and 3 stages (3 trails) off the Mogo Trig only, so LOADS of trails still open!

Parking

Event Hub is located at the Mogo Trails Trig Intersection. Event car parking and all amenities are located on the “pad” at Dog Trap Rd near the intersection with Mogo Trig Rd.

Main ENTRY to Event Hub is recommended via Mogo Trig Road – turn LEFT off Princess Hwy and follow signs towards Trig, please obey parking sign instructions.

• The main PARKING for event participants will be on the LEFT side of Dog Trap Rd to the NORTH of the Event Hub (see parking zone 3).
• Overflow PARKING is on the LEFT side of Mogo Trig Road near the Trig trailhead – watch for signs.
• There will be No Parking signs out to ensure the road remains passible for emergency vehicles. Please follow these signs.

EXIT from Event Hub is via Dog Trap Road – follow Dog Trap Rd to the North from the event hub to exit left (via Glenella Rd to Batemans Bay) or (right Ridge Road towards Surfside/Malua Bay).

Race plates and registration for both races for the weekend will be available at the Event Hub.

Optional entry (for keen beans): park at Botanic Garden Trailhead, ride up Company Credit Card Trail. The event hub is right at the end of that track! The big bonus: straight from the event hub, hook into Current Level trail and then continue your shred back to the car via the awesome “Bad Dawg“! Guaranteed endless flow after your race runs (it’s one of those hidden gems of the network!)
