The MMBCC Summer of Cycling for 2024/2025 is about to start…
Dirt Crits starts next week!
By Damian Grundy
Yep it's that time again.
Daylight Savings kicks in on Sunday and the first Dirt Crits will be Tuesday 8 October.
The Trail Fairies have been hard at work repairing and renovating some of the trails; so far that’s included much of the XC Loop, Critters and some of Joyride. More will be done in coming weeks!
This Saturday morning I'd love to see as many of you Dirt Crit types as possible at 9am at Rifle Butts MTB Park to do a clean up of the race site. Grass cutting, raking trails, a general tidy up of fallen branches, etc. It might stretch to two hours of your time.
Please wear suitable work clothes:
Bring a hat;
Bring gloves; and
Bring a rake if you have one.
There will be a quantity of smaller, fire-suitable timber that we could remove if you have a trailer and a fire at home needing fuel.
Please SMS Damian on 0411 045 771 if you can be there.
See you ALL there.
Road racing starts next week too.
By Alex Green
We’re all set to start road racing Thursday week, 10 October.
The Commissaires have been busy renewing their qualifications and (almost unbelievably) we already have all our permits!
Here is the duty roster. Please check when you’re rostered on.
Once again, all entries are online through Entry Boss. The duty roster for each race is on the Entry Boss page for that race too. Entries for each Thursday race will open at 9am Monday.
Dirt Critters starts soon too.
By Tim Ross and Luke Vivash
Dirt Critters is for primary-school age kids who like to ride and learn new skills in a fun and social environment.
We meet at Rifle Butts Reserve on Tuesday after school – 4pm for Grade 3 and younger, 4:45pm for Grade 4 and older.
Secondary school kids are encouraged to move up to senior Dirt Crits which starts at 6pm.
First official night is Tuesday 15th (second week of term) but we’ll be there on Tuesday 8th (next Tuesday) for anyone who wants to come up and say hi.
An Auscycling membership is required for all participants.
