McGAZZA CHAINLESS RACE RESULTS | QMTBC

Sunday, Dream Jam, 3pm 🤘

This year hits different.

Dream Jam returns as part of a very special - and emotional - 10-year anniversary of McGazzaFest. We come together to remember our mate Kelly, celebrate how he rode, how he lived, and the energy he brought to everyone around him. This one’s about honouring his legacy and carrying that spirit forward on the bike.

This is a jam session for experienced riders only on Dream Jumps - big riding, big respect, and big vibes.

We’ll kick things off with a Junior Jam, followed by the Adult Jam on the upper Dream line. Kelly was known for styling Dream from top to bottom with his mates, so in true McGazza fashion, we’re bringing that full experience back - top and bottom jumps - and to close it out, riders will send a full top-to-bottom run - delivering maximum Kelly thrills and a moment we know he’d be proud of.🙌

Juniors: Rego: 3:00pm, riding: 3:30pm – 5:00pm (Parents/guardians must be present to sign the waiver and remain onsite. No exceptions)
Adults: Rego: 4:30pm, riding: 5:15pm – 8:00pm

This one’s about respect, progression, and riding for Kelly - together, loud, and full send.

We’ll see you on Dream 💙

If you like things fast, fun and slightly hectic… this one’s for you 🙌

The Chainless Race is back and it’s total commitment from top to bottom. Register online or on the day!

Meet us at the bottom of McNearly Gnarly where our legendary crew will sort you with your timing chip and a custom QBF number plate! From there, it’s a pedal to the top, ditch the chain… and drop in.

This is all about timed runs and chasing the top spot. No cruising, no mucking around. Ride hard for Kelly, commit to your lines, and send it skyward on the jumps all the way down 🚀

Chain breakers will be available at the start, but if you’ve got a spare - bring it along and be a hero.

📍 Where: McNearly Gnarly – Fernhill Bike Park
💸 Cost: $20

Expect big energy, serious racing, and the kind of chaos that only a chainless run can deliver!

Come ride with us!! Memorial Ride is ON 💛

Bring your warm & wet weather gear ⚙️☔️
Bring the stoke 🔥

Meet us at the bottom of the Skyline Gondy — $15 uplift for non-pass holders

Let’s remember our friend, share some turns, and make new mates 🫶

So sorry team! The weather 🌦️ turned and the rain got a bit too heavy.
We’ve put the memorial ride on hold, but the forecast is looking set and wet for the day ahead.
Fingers crossed tomorrow brings back summer 🔥☀️
Thanks for the patience — appreciate you all 🤍

Friday night delivered exactly what it promised - pure McGazza energy from top to bottom.

The McGazza Mega Train rolled out full commitment into the rain, and into the chaos!, Lots of laughs, noise, and friendly rivalry as everyone chased wheels, shared lines, and soaked up that unmistakable Bike Fest stoke.

This one was always about riding together - and it delivered. A proper social mission with a huge turnout (thanks for braving the rain guys!), big smiles, and that magic feeling of sharing the trails with a crew who all get it.

The evening wrapped perfectly at with food, cold beers, and plenty of post-ride storytelling.

Huge thanks to for the support and to everyone who showed up and brought the vibe.

McGazza Fest is officially underway 🤘
