Summer Series Calender 2009/2010
The Summer Series will be back again in 2009/2010 and will be held on Thursday nights starting at 6:30pm. This is always a very relaxed and casual event and gives riders the opportunity to catch up after work or school and ride for 30-40 mins at the most on some fun, short courses. It’s also a great way for kids and beginners to start mountain bike riding.
This year the event will be run on a handicap system with a set distance to be ridden and no formal timing. There will be 2 venues used: Brick Kiln Reserve in November and December and the new Silvalite Reserve loop in January and February (pending formal approval from the Dept of Lands).
Dan Davies and Ben Murphy will be the main organisers of the event but will have plenty of assistance from the club committee. More details to follow, but for now lock these dates into your calendar:
