Welcome to

Marys Mayhem 2026

Now into it's 3rd, this will be the finale of the Bushranger Gravel Series in 2026.

Set in the beautiful Mudgee/Rylstone region and is the 3rd event in our Bushranger series. We reckon this has the potential to be our biggest event yet with loads of champagne gravel in close proximity to the wider Sydney and Newcastle regions. The locals are absolutely frothing over this one and cannot wait to showcase their local trails to the Graveleur Community!

Added to that we will be curating some of the finest local craft brewers to put on a beer festival at the finish of both days. This will be more of the same chilled social gravel cycling, blue ribbon support, and meticulous organisation that you have come to expect from Graveleur.

Saturday will feature 3 loops of approximately 30/60/100km, starting and finishing at the Small Batch Brewery and Hop Farm just outside Mudgee NSW.

Sunday will also consist of 3 loops of approximately 30/60/100km, starting and finishing at The Globe Hotel in the centre of Rylstone NSW.

The area is relatively flat being over the great dividing range so the distances will not be as taxing as some of our other event locations.

This is Marys Mayhem

Mary Ann Bugg is the inspiration for Marys Mayhem. She was a proud Worimi woman and arguably Australia's first female bushranger in the 1800s. Married to Captain Thunderbolt, legend has it that she single-handedly busted him out of prison on Cockatoo Island by swimming across shark infested waters of Sydney Harbour with a file held between her teeth. She was jailed for unconventional acts like wearing men's clothing and operated out of Mudgee. What a legend!
