Dirty 130 Festival

The Gears and Beers Festival is a cycling and craft beer celebration held in Wagga Wagga, NSW, set for 4–5 October 2025. This vibrant festival combines on-course cycling challenges with a fun, social atmosphere complete with craft brews, live tunes, and local food. On Saturday, riders can tackle the Wiradjuri 40—a mixed surface route starting at Wagga Beach that promises an energetic start to the weekend. Sunday offers a range of courses for every rider’s preference, from the demanding Dirty 130 with its mostly gravel terrain to shorter, family-friendly routes like the River 10 and the paved Roadie options. With well-marked courses and plenty of support along the way, the festival invites cyclists of all levels to enjoy a day of adventure, camaraderie, and celebration of the region’s cycling culture alongside its best craft beers.
