Dirt Crits Update
Week off Dirt Crits this week, following the end of the Summer series last week. Riflebutts Reserve has undergone some controlled burning by DSE and it has to be said that they have done a great job! The trails have been left in great condition, even the raised trail areas. There is still a concern of trees falling after the burn, so please do not enter the park if the gates are closed.
Mitch has had a successful weekend riding in the 2012 Cycling Australia Junior Mountain Climbing Championships. He finished the weekends races 8th overall in the General Classification, knocking off a lot of top track and criterium riders including a few from the NSW Institute of Sport! A fantastic effort by Mitch, preparing him for next week’s races in NZ, with the U17 MTB Development team. Go Mitch!!
