President’s Report
On behalf of the club, thank you to our 2025 committee and volunteers for your continued support, and to our fellow riders who have backed DORC throughout the year. This year we introduced several new trails, adding fresh challenges to our regular events and making our rides even more enjoyable and rewarding. Throughout the year, we’ve also worked closely with various stakeholders to help ensure safe, sustainable trails for the off-road cycling community across the Darwin area.
As we look ahead in 2026, we’re excited about what’s coming—joint events and trail development projects in the pipeline, with more adventure rides to explore. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or new to the sport—whether you took part in our events or simply got out and enjoyed the trails—each of you brings something valuable to our community. It’s this shared energy and passion that keeps the club moving forward.
