The eleventh Cannonball Mountain Bike Festival, presented by Boost Mobile, has officially begun, bringing hundreds of riders and thousands of spectators to Thredbo for what promises to be an epic week of racing. With recent rain setting up perfect track conditions, the stage is set for some of the best racing in the festival’s history.

The Osprey All-Mountain Enduro kicked things off with 441 competitors tackling the grueling 9km, three-stage race, testing endurance, skill, and technical ability across a mix of rock rolls, punchy climbs, and fast descents. The track, running from Eagles Nest to Friday Flat, delivered some of the best conditions seen at Cannonball in years.
