Unfortunately the Mountain Bike Australia - MTBA entry system does not support club member special pricing.
They advise that it's in the works, but to date we have not seen anything come through, so we will need to continue the token system in 2019.
When you arrive at the shuttle day you will be provided with a token.
Collect 3 tokens and your next shuttle day is free. The club is keeping a register of the token's provided.
If you have a free voucher from volunteering or a free voucher from Bicycle Superstore please email the club or message us on facebook to secure your place at the shuttle day. You don't need to register via the MTBA if you have a free shuttle pass.
Cancellations will be accepted until 6pm on the Thursday before the shuttle day.
The club will charge a cancellation fee of $5 per person to cover the bank and transaction costs.
There will be no refunds for cancellations after 5pm Thursday 21st or if you do not show up at the shuttle day.

You Yangs all set to dominate at Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort for round 4 of the Victorian Downhill Series.
Hope to see lots of club members at this event.Not long until round 4 of the Victorian Downhill series at Mt Baw Baw.
Did you know this event is part of the Mountain Bike Australia - MTBA National Cup.
Even better this is a class 3 UCI event with international points up for grabs!
We have received lots of questions about what will be different at this event.
The answer is easy. Nothing changes!
Same schedule, same categories, same price, same great atmosphere and same awesome volunteers as you find at all VDHS races.
When the VDHS has been the biggest and best DH series in Australia for 11 years why would we change it.
If you want some last minute practice check the Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort page for details of shuttles this weekend.

The club has received the following message and wanted to get the riding community behind it. If you are interested in crowdfunding or being part of the film, all details are in the link.
"I will be shooting a nonprofit, short narrative film about mountain biking and men's issues. The film itself is a comedy that follows the spiritual journey of two blokes on a mtb trail ride.I am trying to reach out to MTB communities to gather some support through publication and donations.I am also interested to see if there's any competitive downhill riders out there with acting backgrounds who might be interested in lending their time for the shoot if You Yangs MTB Inc might be interested in helping out with this."
