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 17 Aug ’19, DORC will host the social ride at the New Pine Forest, Howard Springs.
| Location | New Pine Forest |
| Meeting point | Intersection of Stow Road and Howard Springs Road (Map) |
| Date | Saturday 17 August ’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.
My name is Sam and I’m currently living in Katherine. I’ll be in Darwin on Sunday 25th August, wondering if anyone would be going for a ride in the afternoon? I would love to tag along and be introduced to the area. New to mountain biking, however i ride between 40-80kms per week. Is there another avenue for keeping uptodate with upcoming events? Thanks in advance! 👍
HI Sam, we;d love to have you along. The Pine Forest rides are great for riders new to mountain biking and are generally easy with a few easy challenges along the way.
Also check our Where Can I Ride page (under the Rides Menu) for some more information on upcoming events. There’s a few groups and rides that are organised on Facebook. (You’ll find the details on the Where Can I Ride Page).
Hope to see you on Sunday.
Cheers
Ian
