New trail and pump track open

15/06/2015 by DORC

In addition to the brilliant WIRRAWAY TRAIL

New “SPITFIRE Trail” and “THREE SISTERS link trail” which has been constructed as a BLUE trail with BLACK features with no “B” lines is now OPEN. IMBA trail grading

SPITFIRE trails is designed for the higher level intermediate to advanced riders. The trail is ONE WAY ONLY with no “B” lines.

THREE SISTERS link trail is also designed for the higher level intermediate to advanced riders. The trail is TWO WAYS; with no “B” lines.

Ride with caution, if you cannot ride a trail feature DO NOT RIDE AROUND or MODIFY IT; dismount from your bike and walk over the trail feature or practice till you can successfully clear it (DORC will be running Skills sessions soon for Members, another reason to join the club).

Also now open is the PUMP TRACK located on the entry road, give it a try it’s great fun.

Thanks to Parks and Wildlife NT for the funding and for foresight for yet another fantastic trail and Pump Track in Charles Darwin National Park.

Thanks again to all those DORC Committee members that spent countless hours working closely with Parks and Wildlife NT, Dept of Infrastructure, DirtArt and *BMD Construction to make all this possible.

If you needed a reason to “Join DORC” this united voice, bring the MTB community together and makes things happen. As a Member of DORC you are a Member of MTBA and the united national voice for mountain bikers in Australia, and also the insurance policy that comes with being a Member (See MTBA web site for more information)

With these new trails there will be some changes to the trail network over the coming months. As part of the agreement with PWNT there will be some trail closures, signs have been erected in some areas and more work will be done to rehabilitate these now closed trails, so please respect the decisions for the greater good of the trail network within Charles Darwin National Park.

Support DORC and the Trail Network by volunteering to assist the Club on Trail Maintenance Days and Race Support.

Ride Safe, support you club and enjoy the trails

DORC Committee.

*BMD Construction provided and delivered approximately 300m3 of clay. Without this donation to DORC the PUMP TRACK would have not been built, so this donation is greatly appreciated and has provided a fantastic facility for the MTB community.
