25.01.2022 Update - photos sorted, thanks everyone!! Do you have any photos taken at the enduro on Sunday? We are on the hunt for some photos to use in an upcoming story so please contact us ASAP

25.01.2022 Race footage from Round 2 65cc and 85cc Junior Race. Check out the website www.merc.net.au for all the information for the next race!

25.01.2022 Bit of 20 year history...quickest of the quick Senior enduro rider who has quickest lap each round, then tallied up at the end of the year to become the quickest rider for the year! Joel Mccrostie holds the most amount with 6 over the last 20 years! Can Toby Bell keep it going for another 3 years to match Joel?? Can’t wait till 2021 for another great year of racing! ... Also great to see one of our early winners Phil Fish coming back to racing and competing in 2020 and winning the Veterans class!!

24.01.2022 Monday Blues?? Cheer up by watching the action from our Round 2 Enduro Series. This track made for plenty of action, thanks to the riders for putting on a good show!! Round 2 Grasstrack is this SUNDAY, so jump online and enter so you don't miss out on a great day on the bikes with mates!... www.merc.net.au See more

24.01.2022 Apologies to all those waiting on photos from the Grasstrack. I had over 900 photos to share but my computer is not playing nice and at the moment I can only access about 80 from the junior lites. I'm trying to recover the rest, unfortunately I have deleted them from the camera, so uploading them again is not an option. Fingers crossed I'll be able to find them Lou

24.01.2022 Get keen.....MERC ROUND 4 Enduro 3 Hour isn't far away. Sign up online www.merc.net.au All race details can be found on the website. Here is the footage from Round 3 Junior 65cc and 85cc!

23.01.2022 Was great to see riders, family and friends at The Waggon And Horses Sports Bar last night for our video and medallion presentation! Thanks to Bike Barn Hobart for the $50 gift vouchers donated for our raffle... Keep an eye on Facebook and our website www.merc.net.au for all information about our last Enduro and campover on Saturday 31st October! Can’t wait that long...why not head up and support the hard enduro riders event in a few weeks? This is an AMA run event so curr...ent members don’t need to pay for more insurance! No excuses not to have a go! Will be another awesome event! See more

22.01.2022 Having race withdrawals already? Here is some of the action from ROUND 4 held at Jericho in September 2020, one of the best tracks of the year! Tag your mates!

22.01.2022 After a well needed break over Christmas, the seasoned 2020 MERC committee handed the reins over to the 2021 committee at last night's meeting. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the committee members and volunteers who donated their time last year and in previous years, with special mentions going to Dave Walker, Jon Pitt & Kylie Hansson. Luckily we will still see their faces at events this year, so make sure to thank them for the huge commitment they'v...e made to the club for the last few years. Our new committee list can be found on the MERC website in the "About" section. This year we have our first ever female president, Fiona Steel! We welcome all other new committee members and thank them for stepping up and volunteering their time to a great club. Our calendar dates for the year have now been finalised and are available on our website under Events. Our first grasstrack is approaching FAST on Sunday the 21st of Feb. We will be holding our first track marking weekend on SATURDAY 13th of Feb, meeting at Ouse Shop at 8am. Many hands make light work so if we all pull together it should only take a day to mark. If you have any questions about track marking please message the page and we will put you in touch with our head track marker. Event registration is now open for the event, so please head to the Registration tab on our website to make sure your membership and AMA insurance are up to date before going to enter. Please remember that every rider must bring a flaggy, they are essential for us to run the event! A $30 no flaggy fee is payable on the day if one is not provided at sign up. We hope everyone is as excited as we are for a great year of racing!

21.01.2022 Race day is fast approaching, and the weather forecast is looking good! The track is a BRAND new enduro loop so make the most of the opportunity to ride on this fantastic property! The track caters for all levels of riders with chicken tracks around the obstacles...So why not to give it a go? Junior 65cc and 85cc riders will do a shorter loop so they are never too far away. We would love to see more junior riders! *If you have a trail bike you can also enter in your ag...e group. *check website for maximum capacity If you are a current member with merc and ama race entry is only $30! If you need memberships AMA annual license is only $60 and MERC annual is only $50 and they last for 12 months, so you can keep racing in 2021! Family options also available!

06.01.2022 Thanks so much for tagging the merc club so we can share your FANTASTIC photos !!

05.01.2022 Keep an eye out for this little Dude!! Nicolai "NICO" Marchant. At just 7 years old in his first race in the 50cc class, Nico carved his KTM around a sandy grasstrack course into 2nd place in his very first race fresh out of the Nippers class. Then backed it up with another second and in the last race this little legend took out the win!!! After the racing this little champ even went out and helped pack up the track before presentations. Well done NICO you're a star!!

04.01.2022 THE CLUB NEEDS YOU ! A few of our current committees members have decided to step down, and to continue this fantastic club into 2021 the MERC club relies heavily on its strong committee to organise fantastic events and keep the club running smoothly. It’s also been a great year for volunteers helping out! ... We would love to hear from you if you think you would like to have positive input into the 2021 race year and join the committee. We would really like to see some parents of Junior riders stepping forward to help the committee keep the club moving in the right direction for our up and coming riders. It’s a great committee to be involved in! We’ll be having the AGM on Saturday at the presentation night but get in touch with the club if you think you would like to be more involved in 2021

04.01.2022 How great to see some more photos!! Thanks again redbank for having us there! Go along and check them out for some non motorbike fun!! #supportlocal

02.01.2022 Thanks Hayden for capturing a bit of drone footage from today! Very cool!
