Castlemaine Rocky Riders Dirt Crits mountain biking series

The popular Dirt Crits mountain biking series has returned for season 2015/16 on Thursday evenings.  This year the Crits have been reformatted to provide a separate category (and an earlier start time) for junior riders (12 years of age and under), and we encourage any young riders with a suitable bike, a helmet and a sense of adventure to participate.  The junior circuit is a 1 km loop that can be safely navigated by riders of all abilities.

Registrations open at 5:30pm each Thursday with racing kicking off at 5:45pm and finishing by 6:15pm.  Note that junior riders can opt-in to compete in the seniors event (from 6:45pm to 7:30pm) if preferred.   The season continues each Thursday evening through until 3 December and then resumes at the end of January.

For 2015/16 we have moved the location of the Dirt Crits to the Baco trails, just off Daws Road, Castlemaine in the Walmer State Forest (behind the Bacon Factory).  Entry to the event is from Daws Road and will be signposted on the evening.  Information and maps are available on Facebook and at www.rockyriders.com
