New Pine Forest Ride
Every Saturday afternoon DORC host a social mountain bike ride in different locations around the Darwin area. The aim of these rides is to get all level riders together to enjoy our sport and trails in a friendly supportive environment. These rides can help familiarise you with our local trail networks. They are also a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people.
Happy new year and welcome to our social rides for 2024. This Sat 6th Jan ’24 DORC will be hosting a ride on the trails at the New Pine Forest trails, Howard Springs. This ride will be a fun ride on most the trails in the area and is a great way to see the trails if you have never ridden the pine forest before. The meeting point for this ride will be at the Stow rd trail entrance on the corner of Stow rd and Howard Springs rd. Please arrive at 4:45pm for a 5:00pm start
It’s that time of year again and there could be storms on the day of the ride and we may need to cancel the ride. If there is storms around on the day please check this post for cancellation. A decision will be made no later than 3pm on the day.
If you would like to catch up after the ride, refreshments in the carpark will be BYO.
