The club will have Pip's Mobile Bicycle Mechanic on hand for this shuttle day to lend a hand with any mechanical assistance for riders. Ryan is a regular to our shuttles day events as a rider, and now he is coming along to help.
Please Note:
The committee has noticed the the wastage with the can drinks that are available on the day.
Can we ask the you finish one can prior to opening up another.
If this behaviour continues with riders, then the club will need to charge for cans separately to the shuttle day fee moving forward.
Parents are encouraged to help out while there kids are riding;
this is a great way to meet other parents in the MTB community.

You will also get the benefits of enjoying a day outside in the fresh air.
Club Merchandise (Jerseys, T-Shirts and Hoodies) will be available for sale on the day.
Let's get out and ride 😉
YY MTB trails are open. Track 5 and 19 are closed and need repair.
Hope to have 12 open asap.
Just received notification from the head ranger. Trails are closed till further notice due to the rain received overnight.
Weather is a funny thing. Sheoaks received almost 60mm of rain this afternoon but Avalon only received 15. We have not received any official closure notice from Parks Victoria yet but if we do we will share so just keep an eye on this page before heading out.
Thanks to GMBC for the photo of the new boardwalk on track 18.If anyone was wondering why the new board walk was installed on track 18 hopefully this photo from Parks explains why 😁
Shuttle Day for Feb 23/02

Round of Applause for the Trail Crew! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
There is no longer going to be boggy section on Track 18.
The trail crew smashed out 42 metres of boardwalk.
Here is some photos from during and then after their handy work.
Materials were supplied by GMBC and Parks Victoria.
Update on Track 12 and the 🐝 situation.
Beekeeper has come today and done their thing.
Track 12 will remain closed until the bees have buzzed off enough so Parks Victoria can chainsaw up the tree.
