A Relaxed Country Experience – Or Not!
St Albans can be a step back in time to a quieter more sensory experience.
It can also be a whole lot of fun.
Step outside at night and look up – the stars are incredible.
Have a long slow breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Leave your phone on airplane mode and breathe.
Join in any or all of the community activities – where you will be made very welcome.
This major fundraiser for St Albans RFS runs on the first Saturday in May each year, starting right in front of the Shack, Barn & Market.
The Convict 100 is an ‘institution’ in Australian mountain biking! As one of Australia’s favourite and longest running mountain bike marathons, it consistently inspires all entrants to push their personal boundaries.
The 2026 event was the 20th instalment of the ‘Century of Dirt’ and with 100km, 67km & 48km (for beginners and juniors) courses available, with a distance to suit riders of all skill & fitness levels.
The race starts and finishes in the historic township of St. Albans, only 2 hours North of Sydney where the community (and the third oldest pub in Australia) welcomes all competitors with open arms.
The course follows the historic Convict Trail through the heart of the Macdonald Valley, taking in some of the best scenery the area has to offer.
The mix of fast fire trail, technical rock gardens, rocky descents and spectacular ridgeline views is unmatched by any other MTB event.
It is rugged, raw and one epic adventure on a bike!
