Rain, hail or shine, our bike party will be on tomorrow @angleseabikepark from 11am 🥳. BBQ, lollies, prizes, merch all ready to go. And a few updates to be heard at the AGM. We’ll have a couple of marquees in addition to the shelter to keep everyone dry. It’s a warm one forecast so no one likely to be cold.

A huge shout out 📣 to club members Kate Kellett

A huge shout out 📣 to club members Kate Kellett @katekellett_mtb, Brett Kellett @kellettini & Fiona Matthews @fionamathews154 on their incredible efforts at the World 24hr Championships last weekend in Armidale. Kate rode almost 350k (over 6000m vert) to take the elite win & fittingly become the 24 Hr World Champion 🤩 🥇. Brett took out the age group win 🤜 & Fiona rode through the field in the latter stages of the race to claim 2nd in her age group 🙌. Recovery well earned but rumour has it that for some of these legends it’ll involve this weekend’s 245k Dirty Warnny 😱 #surfcoastmtb #ultraendurance #outstanding

Massive thanks to those who volunteered their time this morning to assist with our monthly working bee 🙏. The less commonly used section of track 4 (see map) got a much needed make over plus a clean up of track 9 😃 #surfcoastmtb #trailwork #digdays

Just a heads up that the @rapidascent Surf Coast Century Trail Run is on this Sat. With a 5am start for the 100k & 7.30am start for the 50k, the Eumeralla trails will be busy from approx. 7.30am til after lunch. Trails in use include 3, 4, 5 & 14. The Currawong Falls loop will also see runners from approx. 10.30am til late afternoon. Best to avoid these trails during these times. Best wishes to all competing, weather looks amazing! 🌞

Disappointing…😢 Many will recognise this as a wonderful long standing technical trail feature on Clandestino that has a B line around it. If you find something too difficult, take the B line, walk it or session it til you master it. Perhaps sign up to one of our upcoming skills sessions. But please don’t “dumb down” such features 🙏. It’s usually very clear what is and is not supposed to be there on the trails. If in doubt, touch base with us #surfcoastmtb #surfcoasttrails

🦌 Night Eumeralla (Hurst Rd) MTB Network Closures 🦌. Starting this Sun Aug 27 to Fri Sep 1, the area will be closed to the public between 5pm to 7am each evening / night as part of the deer control program. Trails will be open in daylight hours between those times.

A genuine life saver! 🪖 This helmet came to the rescue on the road between Bells Beach & Southside last year to save a young life ⛑️. We’ve been campaigning for a rideable section of trail here that is off the road & will continue to do so. The speed limit here has recently been reduced to 60kph & cyclist share the road warning signs are coming. A reminder of the critical role helmets play is always useful. And if yours is old or been in a crash, head in to your nearest bike store for a replacement 😃 #surfcoastmtb #sharetheroad #comehomealive

Best wishes to club members @cohen_jessen1 & @matthewjharding who are also representing our country 🇦🇺at the UCI World Cycling Champs starting in Glasgow (Scotland) tomorrow 🙌. Both have come a long way since their days at the @angleseabikepark 🤟. Matt will be competing in the trials & Cohen in both Junior XCO MTB & the Junior Road Race, the first Australian to compete in both MTB & road at the same World Champs 🤩. Check out their socials & get behind these legends #surfcoastmtb #worldchamps #saveangleseabikepark

Can confirm it’s a sweet ride for 5yo’s👌. A massive thanks 🙏 to those who attended today’s work bee to revamp & create some new features on trail 2. Our next kids skills clinics will be a blast 😀. Working bee’s last weekend of each month 👍 #surfcoastmtb

Almost the weekend! 🙌 We have become aware of s

Almost the weekend! 🙌 We have become aware of some very recent alterations to informal single track seemingly aimed to cause harm to riders. This is 1 of about 30 logs placed on a trail that’s been used by trail enthusiasts for decades. Presumably by someone or some people who are not MTB fans. Perhaps they’ve had a bad experience with riders out there 🤷🏽. Please be mindful especially on informal trail where sight lines are limited. You may come across other trail users, wildlife or such trail alterations. The future of the proposed larger surf coast trail network relies on good relationships with land managers & all trail users. Slowing down, smiling & greeting all go a long way towards trail harmony ✌️ 😃 #surfcoastmtb #takecare #tgif
