Australian MTB Series National Round 2 09/10 – Shepparton Gippsland MTB Members Downhill Results
Round 2 of the Australian National Series (including XCO, 4X, Enduro, XCC and DH) was held last weekend at Shepparton. Driving from Shepparton to Dookie for a downhill event is quite strange – it’s flat for as far as you can see, until in the distance you see a large hill protruding from the dry and parched landscape. It doesn’t look much like a place for a downhill event – at a distance! |

Round 1 of the GMTB championship will kick off with a 2 hour enduro to be held at the Mill Reserve Erica on Sunday February 21. A sweet 5 km loop has been put together with a nice climb to get the heart rate up followed by some great single track and 4WD tracks to complete the loop. An average lap time is about 20 mins and the course should be achievable by all riders with basic MTB skills and a bit of fitness for the short climb involved. The event location will be signposted from both the Tyers/Rawson road and Moe/Erica road with parking being located in the Mill Reserve itself. Due to the fair chance of the weather being hot registration will open from 8.00am with riders briefing at 9.15 followed by a 9.30 start and the usual BBQ lunch to round out the morning. | When: | Sunday Feb 21st Registration Opens: 8:00 Rider Briefing: 9:15 Race Start: 9:30 | | Where: | Mill Reserve Erica | | What: | 2 Hour Enduro | | Entries: | Solo and Team Pairs Open to everyone, members and non-members Registration can either be on the day or you can pre-register at: https://www.registernow.com.au/mtba/ERegister.aspx?E=190 | | Cost: | $10 Entry Fee $15 Day License is don’t have and MTBA Competition License | | Questions: |

The clubs first Social Ride for the year actually falls on Valentines Day, so what better way to show your loved one who much you care than to take them on a Mountain Bike Ride. With this in mind we have chosen an appropriate track for all skill levels, this being the feared Moe-Yallourn Rail Trail. This track can be deceptively flat and riders will have to tackle sections where the track narrows down to a tight 2 meters in width! However, if you and your partner survive, you will be rewarded with a nice lunch (Chicken and Champaign has been suggested) before the return leg of the journey. For those inclined there are numerous location where single track does drop off the side of the trail, however your partner may not quite have your enthusiasm for such silliness. The trail is 8km each way and there is car access to each end so you can set up a shuttle if you wish to ride only one way. We will be meeting at the Yallourn end next to the power station with lunch in Moe park. The cost will be $10 per head and pre-registration is required for catering purposes. | What: | Partners Social Ride | | Where: | Moe Rail Trail | | When: | Sunday February 14th Meet at Yallourn Trail Head for 10:30am departure Arrive at Moe Park at 12:00 for lunch | | Cost: | $10 Per Head (Lunch Provided) $5 Day License if non-MTBA License holder

As some of you may have heard, the first official MTB trails in Gippsland are being constructed at Nowa Nowa. These are not old trails made by the motorbike’s 20 years ago, these are all new, professionally planned and constructed trails specifically for mountain bikers! Best of all, these trails have the full support of the local community who have lobbied the government for funding for the past 10 years and this effort is now being paid off. These trails are being constructed by Mountain Bike Track Services (www.mountainbiketrackservices.com) who are club members Pete and Max Cook who are building these trails to IMBA standards and should be super fun to ride from the reports that have been coming back. For more information on these trails, visit the official Nowa Nowa website www.bikenowanowa.com. To celebrate and support this milestone for the Gippsland region, we are having a social ride to bed in these trail on the opening weekend of April 10/11. Keep an eye on the club website and future newsletters for more details as we get closer to this date. |
