Trailblazers Junior Rides are back for 2022! Groups will be limited to 20 kids per group, parents are always welcome to come with us and dont need to register. Unfortunately its a big weekend for a lot of our volunteers, so we'll only be running the one group this month. The Joeys will kick off the new year, a fun little ride for the beginners out there, followed by a BBQ and a bit of a play on the newly refurbished skills park. Joeys (Beginners) – an easy paced lake loop with a little bit of singletrack. ~6km start to finish and mostly on firetrail. Time & Place: Please enter via Horswood Road, drive through the gates and turn LEFT at the roundabout into the carpark, then follow this all the way to the loop at the end. We meet at the BBQ area nearest to the dam wall and skills park.
