MTB Skills/Social Ride/Night Ride and Camp 

 

The next Gippsland MTB social event is being held on the weekend of August 7^th & 8^th.  We need to have a minimum of 15 people staying overnight at Munjara to make the booking viable.  Please email events@gippslandmtb.com.au to register your booking by Friday July 30^th.  For those who don’t own lights, a social ride will be held on Saturday afternoon after the skills session and also Sunday morning (if PLAN A goes ahead!). The skills session will be targeted at beginners and those riders who would like to work on and improve some of their mountain biking skills. The skills session has proved to be very popular in the past – so book early as there are only 10 places available.

 

In the event that not enough people want to stay overnight we will go with ‘Plan B’.  Keep checking the website for updates.  Details are as follows:
