The Tathra MTB Club will hold two track-rebuilding days to get the trails back ride ready for the upcoming Tathra Enduro.
Officials said to keep the activity fun the two clean-up days would coincide with the Winter Warmer series – giving all volunteers the chance to join us for a fun club race, post race barbecue and some beers.
Dubbed the ‘fast fireman’ the first ride will go ahead next Saturday and will involve raking the burnt trails on the Bundadung circuit from 10am.
Following the clean up will be a 22km lap of the flowing unspoilt Fire Shed trails – starting at 1pm and culminating in a 3.30pm thank you barbecue at the Tathra Beach Country Club and beers from Beechworth’s Bridge Rd Brewers.
If you’d rather relax and not race you can ride your handiwork on the Bundadung and still join in for the barbecue.
The second clean-up round will be held on May 26.
The second event has been dubbed ‘A ride in the Black Forest’ and will involve re-signing the Bundadung track and completing odd jobs from 10am.
“This is your chance to ride the rebuilt, pimped up Bundadung – with all its new berms, bridges and bumps ahead of the Tathra MTB Enduro,” Officials said on social media. .
“Again, no day is complete without the right kind of hospitality. So please join us at the Tathra Country Club from 3.30pm for beers from Jindabyne Brewing, a barbecue and a few tall stories.”
Full details on each day will be posted a week out from the event.
The Bundadung circuit is currently closed, but the Fire Shed loop – that has been renamed to the Legends Loop - is open.
“We have renamed the loop to honour all the RFS brigades, fire and rescue crews, and chopper/plane pilots who came and fought to save our town,” officials said.
“To all those men and women in yellow - who came from far and wide – we are forever grateful.”
Volunteers have already been at work raking and clearing the 21km circuit, which they now said was “green, clean and ready to ride”.
The said it was extremely grateful to everyone who had contributed in rebuilding, through volunteer work, equipment donations and those of a financial nature.
“To all those who have offered support, both physical and financial – we haven’t forgotten your generosity,” the club said.
