CCOMTB presents an introduction to the XC (Cross Country) and
DH (Downhill) bicycle tracks in the Ourimbah State Forest.

WHEN: Be there at 9:00am for a 9:30 am start.
WHERE: Red Hill Rd off Yarramalong Rd. west of Wyong
Park about 300 metres along Red Hill Rd opposite a gate to a property on the left.
Cost: $5 per person for a “participation permit” which is required by MTBA.
The participation permit does not include insurance for personal injury.

Our XC coordinator and DH coordinator will be there to take participants on a casual cruise around the XC track and then a look (ride if you feel that you can) at the DH track and a demonstration by some of our faster riders as to how the track is ridden at race-pace.
The XC and DH will each take about 1 hour.
After that you will be free to ride the tracks again at your leisure.

XC requirements:
A bike with 2 working brakes
Approved bicycle helmet
Water

DH requirements:
Compulsory
A bike with 2 fully functioning brakes and handlebar end plugs
(The bikes will be inspected before the ride by our DH coordinator)
Toe clips removed from the pedals
An approved bicycle helmet
Water

Preferred
A bike with 2 fully functioning brakes and handlebar end plugs
Double sided pedals
Guard over the front sprocket
A full face helmet
Knee and shin guards
Elbow pads
Back pad (a “camel back” hydration system works fairly well)
Water
Full face helmets are compulsory for DH competition and highly recommended for DH practice.
