24.01.2022 What has been your experience of climate change as a mountain bike rider? Does it mean you choose to ride at specific times of the day due to heat in summer? Do you make sure you’re at up the front on group rides so you don’t eat everyone’s dust in summer? We as a club and MTB community sure are enjoying the amazing Spring out there in our forests. It seems like many dry years in the past have prevented such a prolific show. Who knows when we will get another Spring such as... this? Monash Uni are publishing Australia's first climate column in community newspapers across Australia, where they will discuss local climate trends and break down the science of climate change. In their columns, they hope to feature a range of community voices who talk about their experience of climate change and what it means for them. If you can spare 5 minutes to help them out, hit the survey link below to share your experience. https://bit.ly/clim8survey

23.01.2022 Looking for something to do check out the Big Bike film festival coming to the Star Cinema. https://www.facebook.com/events/503783883577666/

23.01.2022 Are you interested in signing up for the Trailhead Kids Term 4 Skills Program? I hope to have the booking links live in the coming days and I know they will se...ll quickly if the current holiday sessions are anything to go by! It will be essential that all riders are covered by insurance with the governing body MTBA. To complete your registration you will need to enter a valid member number and make sure the expiry date is valid for the duration of the program. I strongly recommend Membership, it is peace of mind and great value as your kids will be covered with insurance for personal accidents 24/7 wherever they ride ie to school, at home 365 days of the year. Through taking out a license with MTBA you will be given the opportunity to join our wonderful Bendigo Mountain Bike Club who are passionate about providing opportunities and supporting the growth of grass roots MTB for all! Memberships come in 12, 6 and 3months and you can opt for Recreational, Race, or even get a Family membership if you all ride. https://www.mtba.org.au/membership/membership-types/

22.01.2022 There was a dominant theme throughout the big kids session today, #airtime, they were so keen to get their wheels off the ground and fly! Big thanks to our seni...or @2wheelacademy riders Jack Kelly and mtb_owen_fletch for their assistance and stylish demos! mtb_bendigo @bendigocycles @iamspecialized_mtb #welovemtb #outsideisfree See more

22.01.2022 A reminder that the drinking fountain at the trailhead is not operating due to the current level of COVID-19 restrictions. We will let you know when the water's back on.

21.01.2022 A great quote from Dinny Muldoon in this month's City of Greater Bendigo Magazine. "Muldoon Reserve is named after my family and it’s been marvellous to see the land transformed into the little pump track. It gets so much use! The kids absolutely love it and it’s great to see them outdoors and playing, rather than inside watching the telly."

20.01.2022 Thanks Bendigo Addy Sport

17.01.2022 Ladies don't remember daylight savings is tonight, pop those clocks forward and we will see you at the meet point on Kangaroo Gully Rd tomorrow at 9am.

16.01.2022 Some very disturbing photos have been sent to our club. It's never ok to cut down vegetation next to trails so you can go faster in a straight line. If you can't turn your bike or don't know how to corner get a lesson or stick to the bike paths around town and stay out of the bush! Our club is working hard to build a relationship with Parks Victoria and this environmental vandalism does no one any favours.

16.01.2022 SUMMER OF RACING PLATE PICK UP.... So we do not end up with large groups of people all in the one spot Race Plates are to be picked up from BENDIGO CYCLES court yard 5pm - 6.30pm MONDAY(9/11) - PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE STORE - Jo will be set up on a table out the front. With Thanks!

16.01.2022 I am loving seeing the amount of gutsy and confident girls come through the school holiday sessions, the future is looking awesome! @mtb_bendigo @bendigocycles @pmbiassociation @mtbaust #girlswhoshred #icanandiwill #outsideisfree #welovemtb

15.01.2022 2Wheel Academy Bright Camp got off to a good start today! 24 keen riders took on the Mystic trails this afternoon and rounded out the day with a fun #pumptrackchallenge thanks to all our wonderful volunteers and coaches for making this possible!

15.01.2022 Summer of Racing went off with a BANG!! 105 juniors spread over 7 grades gave the Quarry Hill Golf course loops a go, sweaty faces were rewarded with icy poles.. All grades raced well putting our checkers under the pump. There were clear winners & they know who they were. Thanks to all the Parent Helpers, We cant run it without you guys. See you in 2 weeks back at Spring Gully

14.01.2022 Great to see so many kids out on their bikes learning new skills and having fun on the trails. Trailhead Coaching Term 4 programs are live for booking now!

08.01.2022 Yay for #levelpedals, I think I’ll be saying this in my sleep tonight! Getting kids up off their seats and evenly distributing their weight on the bike results ...in instant confidence and ability to ride more challenging terrain.

05.01.2022 Here is a Purplish Beard Orchid. These are popping up at the moment, but there aren't many, so you'll have to slow down to see them. It's been an amazing flower season so far and there are heaps more flowers still to come.

05.01.2022 We don't normally advertise houses for sale but you can't get any closer to the trails than this one. Happy for any of our members to buy it and make it an open house.

03.01.2022 The Spring that just keeps giving. Good amounts of regular rainfall have our forests thriving! Excited to see the Sun orchids out this morning albeit still sleeping before the sun comes up! Rainy day photo credits thanks to the skilled Wil Barrett

03.01.2022 City of Greater Bendigo elections are coming up next month and while Donald is telling Americans to vote twice we only get to vote once - so we need to make it count. Here are a few questions to ask the candidates in your area. - Where do you stand on the proposed Master Plan for the development of mountain bike trails in Spring Gully? - Do you understand what the plan means for community wellbeing, environmental sustainability and tourism? - Will you actively support the plan if elected? There are a lot of important issues but having an idea of where candidates stand in relation to Mountain Biking is important too.
