TUESDAY Night Ride, from The Tank @ Goldsworthy Lane . PGMTB Club Tuesday night social ride is for those riders who deem themselves intermediate skill level / fitness and above… . This MTB ride is the more technical and faster version of our Sunday morning social ride and is NOT available to Foundation-level or beginner riders. . Starting from The Tank in Goldsworthy Lane means we can head south, head north or mix it up on the mid-Gorge trails. . A good light / battery set-up is needed - ideally, a light on your helmet and one on your handle bar. . We’ll have an experienced local rider leading, and another at the rear of the group to ensure no-one gets lost. . Arrive 6:30pm for a 6:45 pm departure, typically returning about 9:15pm but it could be later depending on the ride leader's energy levels and/or their masochistic personality in deciding to ride up very obvious downhill tracks...  . Mountain biking, like most active sports, carries with it an inherent risk that you acknowledge when participating in this event. . You are encouraged to become an AusCycling Member with the Plenty Gorge MTB Club, which gives you Third Party Liability Insurance as well as Personal Accident Insurance coverage. . https://www.auscycling.org.au/membership . #plentygorgemtbclub #plentygorgemtb #mtbvic #mtbmelbourne #plentygorge . >>>

PGMTB Club Trail Care event . Meet 8:45am at Goldsworthy Lane car park (The Tank). . Focusing on Cadel's Loop, clearing the trail of debris . Typically we rake the trail clear of debris, ensuring water sheets across the trail by creating drainage points as well as cutting back vegetation that impedes users on the trail or blocks 'sight-lines' of corners... . There will be a quick safety briefing & overview on what, where, how & when to rake and cut. . If enough volunteers, we’ll split into two teams . Tools to bring (if you have them): - plastic (not metal!) rake - although the Club has a few now! - secateurs or small pruning saw - no digging tools! - Club will provide blower for clearing trails & pole pruner for any cutting requirements . Personal gear: - hand protection: gardening-type gloves - eye protection: sunglasses or safety googles - foot protection: closed shoes or boots - leg protection: long pants if using a line trimmer or brush cutter - radiation protection: hat & sunscreen (well, at least the hat…) - dehydration protection: backpack bladder is a good way to carry water or bottle/s - rain protection: raincoat . See you there! . #PGMTB #PGMTBCLUB #mtbtrailcare . >>>
