Perth Mountain Bike Club

A pair of gloves and googles were found at Chittering's "Golden Groove" race. Please see Steve 'Clubber' Buursema to claim them.

Your Welcome WA Mtb Racers! Yes, that's right, a joint last ditch effort, has been put together by the PMBC Committee members with support from Peel Districts MBC to save the Welli-Mills State Round. We will need to do some maintenance on the race track that needs a little TLC. Try to be there by 10am at the latest. There will be a sausage sizzle so you need to e-mail me to get numbers for food: dh[at]perthmtb.com

It will be a collaborative effort with PDMBC and if you want to ride on Sunday 31st August they will be hosting a PDMBC club rd on the track. The State Rd is still scheduled for Sat 13th & Sun 14th Sept.

Keep checking this website for the full details of the state event.

Speciality Volunteers:

NEVE CONTRACTING Brings you the best Downhill Race of the season.

This Father’s Day presents a great opportunity for bicycle enthusiasts and the community to ride for charity, through Perth’s beautiful foothills in spring, along the historic Kep Track.

WA Police are hoping to attract many participants to help raise money for Camp Quality with a small portion of funds going to Police Legacy. All community members, mountain bike enthusiasts and associations along with police personnel are encouraged to join in.

Participants have four different ride options ranging from 15km through to 84km.

The shortest ride takes participants to Mundaring Weir, while the longer routes offer rides to Lake Leschenaultia or Bakers Hill and return. There is even one option that starts in Northam and finishes with the other rides in Mundaring.

See http://www.police.wa.gov.au/WAPoliceNews/tabid/887/Default.aspx for further details.

On September 7th the club will be holding a busy bee at the Goatfarm from 8am. This is a very important club event and will help to ensure that we are taken seriously be DEC in the future. We have secured the trails, DEC have helped to build and fund them and now it is our turn to help maintain them.

The main things required will be whipper snippers (Brush cutters) rakes and shovels.

The club will put on a bbq and drinks for volunteers and we will be done by 12 at the latest so people can go to any family commitments.

As I mentioned this is a very important event and a great chance to get together and make a difference to the trails we ride.

G'day to all your 4X racers out there it's race time at the Farm. The one and only 4X race at the Farm is on this weekend. I have spent probable 40hrs reshaping the bottom section of the track for this race. It is the best and flowest that it has ever been.
A big thanks to Carine/Cottesloe Cycles for supporting this event.
Thanks to all the people that helped to get the whole track ready for racing.
Looking at the weather report it looks like the weather is going to be fine Yee Ha. The track is going to be slippery though with a fair bit loose dirt over hard pack. High Rollers would be a good tyre choice :-)
A large part of the track makes up one of the 3 track challenge tracks so racing this event will give you practice for 3 Track Challenge Race.
We will have food and drink avalible on the day.

OK into the details.
There will be no practice on Saturday sorry.
Sunday, Rego open at 8am the track will be open at 8.15am for practice for about 3hrs. Then into racing.
