This is the second round of the 2017 Central QLD XC series, series points will be awarded for all individual places, and club points will also be awarded. Series winners will be decided from the best 4 placings across 5 rounds. Rocky MTB or Gladstone MTB Club members who chose to work a round will receive average points for that round (limited to one round only). No cash or sponsors prizes will be awarded for podium finishers, all entry fees will go towards building new club trails this year. A random draw may be held after the race if there are sufficient sponsors prizes.
