Stoked to be helping make the The Coppermine weekend even more awesome this year!

Plenty of options for everybody between two days of racing.

There’s an NMTBCX style kids race both days, beginner XC to full XCO, as well as three different options for tackling the Coppermine course.

The guys at Gravity Nelson have a great weekend of off-road shredding planned, get amongst it at coppermine.co.nz

A fantastic end to our 2026 season at Cable Bay Adventure Park on Sunday🚲

Just the right amount of rain the night before to keep things interesting for deciding our overall battles🏁

Thanks to everybody who raced, volunteered or supported this year, it wouldn’t have happened without you🙌

Another great event brought to you by Nelson MTB and supported by Felix Laufkotter 👌

Enjoy your cyclocross offseason, check out The Coppermine for your next dose of kids races, XC and longer adventures on 26-27 September⛰️

Just a heads up that there is an approximately 1200m gravel road journey from the main parking area at Cable Bay Adventure Park to our race venue.

You need to cross a bridge then stay on the gravel road next to the river. There will be a portaloo there but no other services.

Happy racing!

Coming up Sunday, the classic venue of Branford Park🙌

Plenty of room for creativity and a deceptive amount of gradient to make things interesting, always a good course👌

Our regular racing returns with kids, MTB and CX categories at Branford Park next Sunday🙌

Always a classic venue with a surprising amount of elevation and technical challenge for a big “flat” field👌

Last Sunday we had the Cycling New Zealand Schools South Island Cyclocross Championships hosted by Nelson MTB and NMTBCX

Rain during the week with a good amount of sunshine on race day made for ideal cyclocross racing conditions.

Students from years 7-13 competed for individual age group honours as well as all kinds of combinations in the team relay.

Well done to all competitors and supporters.

Thanks to all the great volunteers who helped make it happen, as well as sponsors:

Following the schools racing we held the South Island Open Champs aimed at more “mature” riders👴👵

The course was well bedded in for some spectacular cyclocross mud conditions 🚲

Fierce battles were had and championship medals were awarded to the winners🏅

Special mention must go to Mahe Meyer who was too young for secondary school racing but completed the whole adults race💪

Thanks to everyone who helped out and the sponsors that helped make the schools race happen:
