The missing final Dirt Critters report

Dirt Critters concluded the summer program with a break-up on Tuesday 28 March. As is now customary, both the older and younger group met at Rifle Butts Reserve for a final lap or two before riding down to the Botanic Park for a feast (hot-dogs and icy poles!)

Our Dirt Critters (all Primary Schoolers) have had a great summer program despite some inclement weather; mostly riding a Rifle Butts Reserve with the occasional foray along the Rifle Butts Road single track, or along the Delatite River at Carter’s Road.

Thanks to Luke and Tim for leading the group, to all the parents who’ve helped a little or a lot (special mention to Nicole H and Dion), and most of all to our keen and committed group of Dirt Critters who so obviously enjoy riding and hanging out with their friends.

Dirt Critters will start up again in Term 4, though we might squeeze in a bonus ride or two over the next couple of months.

Summer Presentations…

will be held at the Mansfield Hotel from 7pm on Thursday 25 May.

Trophies will be awarded for:

Dirt Crits;
Summer Road Race Series;
Women’s Road Trophy; and
the Alain Guerin Memorial Trophy (Combined Dirt Crits & Road Race.)

If you scored a few points and think you might be on the podium, your name might be engraved on a trophy, so you’d better come along. Plus there’ll be more giveaways and other stuff!

Join us for a bite to eat, or a drink (or even both) and celebrate a great summer of racing!

(So that we have an idea of numbers for the kitchen, please RSVP to Janine on 0428 150 800 by 7pm Tuesday 23 May if you’d like to join us for dinner.)
