For this event we will be allowing LTB attendees through the gate to the overspill car park. To prevent the general public from using this area, the gate will be closed at the beginning of the event and will not be reopened until afterwards - this means if you park here you will not be able to leave until the end of the event. If you need to do so, please park in the public are of the Hallam North Road car park. Please aim to arrive between 8:45 and 9:15 as we will need to lock the gate on time in order to start the skills session.

Welcome to the Lysty Trail Blazers for 2026.

We are excited to spend time with you learning new skills, riding the fabulous Lysty trails, having some dress-up theme days and having a go at some timed racing this year.

Format: This month we will be splitting into groups, according to age, and riding the Vic School MTB Series race courses. We will be completing as many laps as time permits while stopping to session some of the harder features to make sure your grom is ready for race day. 

If you are not racing in the series, feel free to still come and join in. It will be a lot of fun with valuable skills learnt that can be applied to all MTB riding and we will also have a group for the younger riders not of racing age yet.

Ability This month we are grouping riders by age as that will be the categories for the race series. When registering, please choose which age group they fall into if they are racing or want to join the race recon groups. If they are not racing or just want a more casual social ride, please choose the Social group at checkout.

Social: You are not interested in checking out the race course or just want to join a more laid back social ride.

Racing U9-U13: You are racing in these age groups or want to join us while we recon this course.

Racing U15+: You are racing in these age groups or want to join us while we recon this course too.

Important: A parent or guardian is REQUIRED to ride with your child - If you dont ride but your child can ride with a mate and their guardian, just fill out the details on your ticket. 

We always welcome new parent helpers. If you can help out on the day or future events please reach out at administration@lysterfieldmtb.com

Time & Place: As above, please make your way to the Hallam North Road car park this month. There will be someone there to let you through the gate to park in the overflow car park between 8:45 and 9:15. The gate will be locked for the duration of the event and you will not be able to leave early. The gate will reopen at 12:00noon.  If you need to do so please park in the public area of the Hallam North Road car park.
