Once again, Gippsland MTB Inc are on the hunt!!!
Fresh off the success of our Club hosting Round 1 of the Victorian Downhill Series at Mt Taylor in October last year, we are now busily planning for what is shaping up to be an awesome Round 5 of the Victorian Downhill Series at Mt Baw Baw on Saturday March 23 and Sunday March 24.
It has been a huge task for our Club taking on two State Series downhill rounds in one season but we know that our members are up to the challenge.
This event is going to be a great opportunity to showcase our Club to the riders of the State and also nationally!!! At the same time, any profit that we may make will go towards infrastructure that will benefit ALL Gippsland MTB Club members.
