Social Rides

This Saturday afternoon DORC will be holding the social ride at Charles Darwin National Park. 

We will be meeting at the carpark inside the front gate at 4:45 pm for a 5:00 pm start on Saturday 5th Jan ’19.

All riders are invited and welcomed. The ride will be at a medium pace and there will be plenty of stops along the way to regroup. Duration will be approx 1.5 hours.

All you need is a MTB in good working order, helmet, gloves, enclosed shoes and any spares that you think you may require. A minimum of 2 litres of water is essential, as the weather is getting hotter.

You may need to cover up or take other forms of protection against the biting midges in Charles Darwin this time of year.

You do not need to be a member of DORC/MTBA to attend the social rides; However, you will be riding at your own risk. DORC/MTBA members are covered by personal injury insurance as one of the benefits of membership. To #beadorc click here.
