SUMMARY:October Social Ride - Walmer Forest
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly social ride will be held on Saturday 26 October to precede our Club AGM and will feature the best bits of the Baco trails.  The ride will commence at 2pm. \nThe layout of the Baco trails should enable us to cater for both beginner and intermediate level riders.  The focus will be on more flowy terrain\, with fewer technical sections. We will ride for around two hours so a reasonable level of fitness will be required. \nThe ride will commence at 2pm at the Walmer Forest Trailhead. There is plenty of parking\, toilets and barbecues on site. The Annual General Meeting will be conducted at the conclusion of the ride at 4pm. Refreshments will be provided for those attending the AGM.\nMap reference (type into Google Maps): X56W+GF\, Muckleford VIC 3451 \nAll riders must be self-sufficient with food\, water and spares.  A well maintained/working mountain bike and helmet which meets Australian standards are required. \nIn order for us to manage riders to ride leader ratios please register through the AusCycling events portal. \nPlease note: AusCycling membership is REQUIRED to cover you for insurance.  AusCycling has 4 week free trial memberships and monthly lifestyle memberships as options.  Anyone coming to social rides without active membership will have to sign up on the day to one of the AusCycling membership options described above (or full membership) https://rockyriders.com/membership/
