Results, Social Rides, Events and Skills course

29/05/2016 by DORC

Cyclezone 3 Hour- Thanks to Cyclezone for providing prizes and putting on the BBQ for the hungry riders that tackled the race. The BBQ team did a fantastic job as always!!  Thanks to all who put in so much time and effort to get the course ready and marked. We had St Johns on standby for this event and we are happy to report that the only incident they needed to attend to was providing an ice pack! Good on you DORCs for keeping it rubber side down!! One of the stressful jobs with events of this attendance is the timing. Currently we are using an app on an iPad to time events with a secondary person to collect numbers manually. Big thanks to the timing staff. There job is about to become easier as the club have secured a grant to purchase a dedicated timing system!!  Results can be viewed here

Social Rides- DORC hosts a regular women’s only late afternoon ride on the third Sunday of each month. These rides are at an easy pace with plenty of stops to practice new skills and catch our breath – perfect to build confidence and find riding buddies. Like our Facebook page to make sure you receive details about each ride. First one will be on the 19/06/2016 Details for the rides can be viewed HERE

Lee Point Downhill Day- Course will be open from 3:00 pm to get some practice in. Then we will do a timed race run. BBQ and drinks available for purchase after the event. Entry is free but you must be an MTBA/DORC member or purchase a day licence. Enter online here or show your membership card at the event. Meet opposite the caravan park on lee point road. “B” lines open on track. Check HERE for entry and map click the  “buy tickets” icon to enter

Geoff Fox’s Fun D Mentals skills course- Skills course is made up of 6 sessions ran on a Saturday morning. You need to be able to attend every session to benefit from this. The course is based around a progression of skills and when a week is missed it heavily impacts on the participants ability to successfully complete the subsequent weeks. Geoff can accomodate a maximum of 8 people and must be an MTBA/DORC member.   Register here for the course

Blast Coffee Katherine 4 Hour Race-Highly reccomended as a great weekend of bike riding away.

    I would like to do Geoff Fox’s Fun D Mentals skills course. I was wondering if there were still spots available. If so, I will join up as a member and put my name down for the course.

    Thank you
