Ok, its Autumn already. But that just means the conditions will be just right for our Poker Ride tonight. Come down to Thunder Point at 5.30pm for a 6pm kick-off. We have a 2.2km track already set. All you need to do is complete one lap for one card, and at the end of 5 laps the rider with the best poker hand wins a prize. Don’t worry if you only complete 1 or 2 laps. The dealer is very flexible !!
Fun is the theme for the night and there are no stopwatches involved. You can even stay for a BBQ afterwards !
Entry fee is $5 and you will need either your MTBA membership number or an MTBA day licence which is $20.
Hope to see you all there.

Location: Thunder Point Trotting Track (McDonald St Warrnambool)
Date: Saturday 18th January 2014
Entry: Online at ENTRYZONE, close on 15th of January 2013.
Held for the first time in January 2012, this race in Warrnambool proved popular with local riders, national race teams and tourists in town for their summer holiday. This wide cross section of the riding community is a great example of mountain biking’s rapidly growing appeal.
The revamped circuit of about 6 km will once again take in a lap of the trotting track and each lap will see riders passing the clubrooms 3 times to give spectators a birds-eye view of the riders on each lap. The tight and technical track has had a heap of work done on it over the last 12 months – sure to impress and keep you on your toes.
The event will be held on Saturday afternoon in a family friendly atmosphere of food, music and games at the Harness Racing Trotting Club rooms. For out-of-towners, why not plan a weekend by the sea and enjoy everything Warrnambool has to offer. While you’re here, smash out a few laps of single track pleasure. You will love the trails, tight, twisty, rocks, roots, quick downhills, everything you need to have fun on 2 wheels.
