Eventbrite - Wild Dogs Australia Day MTB Mega ride
This month the Wolf Pack will be taking in a day of great riding in the Watagans. This will be a tough ride physically and it is recommended only for riders of a good level of experience, fitness and technical ability.
This ride kicks off with a short road commute to The Awaba MTB park where we will take in a quick lap of the XC track.
Then we will tackle a tough 6km torturous climb for some breath taking views over looking the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie area. After taking in the view we'll make our way over to where the classic wild dogs singletrack descent off the mountain begins.
Think of more than an hour of rocky, technical, fast and mostly downhill singletrack -  sounds too good to be true but it does exist!
The ride will begin in the morning and will go for approximately 6 hours / 60kms and finish for lunch in the same area we start from in the Freemans Waterhole area.
Upon registration exact meeting time, place and more ride details will be emailed to you.
Registration fee includes a compulsory checkover to ensure good mechanical condition of your bike. This must be checked in at least two weeks prior to the trip. If your bike has been serviced** at DRIFT BIKES within the last three (3) months this check over will not be necessary. If your bike has been serviced by another store, yourself,dad,mate or grandma in this time you are still required to check your bike in for a check over.
N.B. Due to Drift Bikes wanting to insure the best possible chance of zero mechanicals for the upcoming ride we are unable to make exceptions for instore check overs. We will attempt to tighten and adjust any basic mechanical issues during your check over however bikes in unsatisfactory order will need to have necessary repairs completed to be eligible for the ride.
