The Australian Subaru National Series moves to Toowoomba in Queensland this weekend, with registration and practice taking place today for the Cross Country and Downhill disciplines.
Hometown of Enduro champion Jared Graves, Toowoomba provides world class quality trails on the side of the range with a dedicated DH track and a multitude of networked trails that are well worth a visit.
After a stacked field in the SRAM Enduro series only a week earlier, Jared Graves, Richie Rude and Cody Kelley are already familiar with the dry and dusty conditions of the track. Rocky and rooty sections will make for a race that will keep everybody on their toes.
The star of the series in the Male Elite category has been Graeme Mudd, who has already taken out the series win no matter what the results this weekend.
Giving himself another challenge after already securing the series, Mudd now has his sights set on top podium and hopes to give Graves a run for his money.
Richie Rude and new Yeti team mate Cody Kelley have been making the most of the off season by joining Graves and getting in some extra training, staying with Jared here in Toowoomba. They were looking strong on the course today.
In the Womens Elite, Tegan Molloy and Danielle Beecroft are going head to head in what could determine the series outcome.

The Cross Country will take place tomorrow with the Downhill qualifications in the afternoon and finals to be held on Sunday.
With an impressive field of riders present it's going to be interesting to see what takes place over the next two days in both disciplines. With an incredible display of talent on the track from our national riders and of course our visiting international guests, spectators are in for quite an entertaining couple of days. Stay tuned for more.
