Mountain Biking (MTB)
The club utilizes 4 different MTB tracks in the Highlands including a short circuit track at Bong Bong racecourse. It is common for kids to get started on BMX bikes. The club recommends that when younger riders are new that they ride with an adult at the bushland circuits such as Welby and Wingello. If mum or Dad doesn't have a bike talk to the club coaches. Mountain Biking is a great place for juniors to get involved in cycling. The club holds racing all year round for MTB.
MTB Licencing for mountain biking events a 'Day Licence' can be purchased at the race venue for $15.00, but a full MTBA membership saves you money for a junior if you participate in just 4 or more events or for a senior if you participate in only 5 or more events in 12 months you save!. Full details of Mountain Bike Australia (MTBA) benefits can be found on the MTBA website. See also MTBA membership FAQ.
