Charles Darwin NP, Pump House Track

25/09/2019 by Geoff Fox

Social Ride at Charlie D

Every Saturday afternoon DORC host a social mountain bike ride in different locations around the Darwin area. The aim of these rides is to get all level riders together to enjoy our sport and trails in a friendly supportive environment. These rides can help familiarise you with our local trail networks. They are also a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people.

This Saturday 28th Sep ’19, DORC will host the social ride at the Pump House track in Charles Darwin National Park. This is a technical trail with some intermediate skill level features. As usual the DORC social ride is for all riders. With this in mind, there may be some features that the less skilled riders may need to walk. Don’t let this put you off. The Pump House Track is a great ride. This Saturday we will meet just inside the main gate at Charles Darwin National Park at 4:45pm for a 5:00pm start. From here we will make our way towards the Pump house via some of the intermediate trails in Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin is renowned for biting midges and other insects. Don’t forget to bring your bug spray or cover up.

Location Charles Darwin Pump House Trail
Meeting point  Main Gates at Charles Darwin NP
Date 28th Sep ’19
Time 4:45 pm for a 5:00 pm start

The ride will be at an easy pace and will be approx 1.5 hours in duration.  There will be  plenty of breaks along the way to regroup.

You will need a mtb in good working order, a helmet, enclosed footwear, gloves and plenty of water. Also bring along things you may need to keep you going. For example spare tube, tools, pump, etc.

You do not need to be a DORC/MTBA member to participate in these rides. However, for insurance purposes, you will need proof of membership with DORC/MTBA or be prepared to sign a waiver.

    Hi Guys
    After a passport mishap with my daughter we didn’t get on the expected flight to Lombok but will now be flying to Darwin Thursday evening !!!!
    Would be keen to join the Saturday evening ride, could you suggest somewhere to hire all the kit I would need please.
    Also have a keen, reasonably proficient 8 yr old, I am presuming it would be to much for him, is that right?
    Thanks in advance
    Tim
