The Jnr. Dev. Riders in action at Barjarg!
The lads had been working hard in the lead up to Rd 1 of the VDHS with their coach/trainer Jake Royle of RaceFit Athlete Development, taking on various physical and mental aspects of the sport, his words to the boys after the race;
“Amazing to see you all killing it and representing the colours in amazing fashion.. The attitudes and skills on display were really commendable and a positive for all of the other competitors.. Working as a team at times and having each other's backs is a big plus in a sport that is sometimes very solo daunting at a place like Barjarg. On a human performance note. We turn from rnd1 which was mind bender and quite easy physically compared to the other races, like Rnd2 and the long, fast, runs of Narbethong..”
Keep up the training and good work ahead of the weekend fellas.

For all riders going this weekend, a few things to remember.⚠️ A few more important details for this weekend:
✅ There is a 40km speed limit along the gravel access road. It will be sign posted and if we have issues with this our permit could be revoked for future events.
✅ Fires in the two designated pits only.
✅ BYO water - some bottled water will be available from the event caterer.
✅Stock up on spare parts at your local bike shop - race/mechanical support will be limited.
Have received notification from Parks Victoria if the park gets any more significant rainfall today/over night the MTB trails will be closed.
Will Arblaster Racing at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Mont-Sainte-Anne was certainly a highlight for the club this year and an inspiration to many including our 4 new junior development riders. Hopefully the first of many to compete at this level as we look forward to seeing Will step up to the Elite class for the upcoming Victorian Downhill Series 🤟🏻😉
P.S congrats also for taking out the St Joseph's College Geelong sports award for 2019, graduating from year 12 and best of luck with final exams!
