Directions

We are desperately seeking someone to take care of first aid at the DH race this weekend in Dwellingup. The role is pretty simple, and 1st aid providers are covered under the club's insurance policy. Any serious injuries are referred to St Johns, so its basically just attending to basic stuff.
Payment is $300 plus fuel money for the day.

So if there is anyone out there who knows someone who can do this for a day please contact dh@perthmtb.com asap

Cheers

The XC Club Race #3 will be held at Marinup, which is just north of Dwellingup on Del Park Road. The Track is located on the right hand side of the road as you head towards Dwellingup Township. There will be a sign there indicating the turn off. If you reach the town you have gone to far. With the race we wil require volonteers to help set up and take down the tents etc, and a couple of people to do the timing. If you are able to help please email me @ simon@firmconstruction.com.au. See you all Sunday.

Yeah that’s right we are going to be mixing it up a bit this year and for round three, down in Dwelli, we will be running a two stage event. This means we will be racing two separate tracks (both start and finish in the same area) for the one event on the Murray Valley side of the river. Each rider will still get two timed race-runs, but one on each track. Then the results of each category will be added together to determine the winner of each division for PMBC Club Round 3.

Speciality Volunteers:
We need some volunteers to help with marshalling and the start gate for the round 3, PMBC Dh race at Murray Valley, Dwellingup. I will need about 4 to 5 Marshalls and 2 people to supervise the start gate. These six or seven volunteers will be able to nominate a race person of their choice for free entry. I would suggest doing the online rego and selecting pay on day, and on race day (Sunday 13th) when you check in, you will be able to let us know who is selected for free rego and they don't need to pay. If your able to help us run this event could you please send me an e-mail ASAP to: dh@perthmtb.com

Hi all
We will be conducting another working bee at Turner hill on Sunday the 6th July starting at about 8.30am. There is one more new downhill section to be cut in and one old section to be rebuilt. This trail is really coming along well and if you havent already riden out there since all the work has been done I strongly suggest you check it out.
Hopefully we will be riding by 2.30-3pm depending on the numbers we get, the more we get the quicker we are cranking some sweet laps.
What to bring - spades,rakes,gloves,matocks lunch and your rig.
If the weather is going to be nasty on the day I will reschedule it for another time. I have checked the weather out and should be ok, just bring a jacket :)
Any questions just flick me an email trackman1@aapt.net.au
Cheers
Jamie Campbell

The XC State Round 3 will be held at Cycletrek Nature Park, on the Ferguson-Lowden-Grimwade Rd, Lowden (15km from Wellington Mills) on Sun June the 22nd. It is an excellent track and worth the drive. As you are heading down the South West Highway from Perth some kms after Burekup there is a Gull servo (on the right and side of the road) - turn left into Waterloo Rd (opposite the Gull servo) at this point. Continue on this road which will bring you out at the Dardanup-Ferguson Rd. Turn left and follow that all the way (past Gnomesville). From Gnomesville turn into Wellington Lowden Rd which will take you to Donnybrook-Boyup Brook Rd, Lowden (Preston Valey store is on right corner - open 7am to 7pm). Cross straight over into Lowden-Grimwade Rd. The track is 4kms from the corner - no 416, first driveway on right hand side after you hit the gravel.
