Fantastic to see our excess trailer going to a good home instead of rusting away. Needs some well overdue TLC which we know Club MUD will provide. Enjoy it guys!Due to fantastic generosity of our friends at the You Yangs MTB Inc. our club shuttle and race weekends will now be a bit easier.☺️👍

Riders - The club has just received notification from the park ranger that Track 7 (Trav) is now closed.
Riders - We have had a few of our committee members riding out at Stockyards this morning, and even though the park is reopened. We strongly suggest to refrain riding the following tracks 7 (Trav's), 13 (Cressy) and 6 (Lactic).
All three tracks have seepage at the moment and if we all out riding them over the next few days there will be long term damage done to the tracks.
Track 1 and Stockyards MTB Area is now open.
Kurrajong is still closed.
There is a little water on some tracks but if you ride safely through the water it shouldn't do any further damage.
