This Sat 3rd August ’24  DORC will be hosting a social ride previewing the course for the upcoming Pines Gravel ‘n Grind event. This is being held on a mix of existing and new temporary trails at the New Pine Forest, Howard Springs. The meeting point for this ride will be at Central Park (refer to aerial photo).

Whether you are taking this event seriously or just cruising around, it’s a chance to ride the varied course we have in store for you at the endurance event.

It is the responsibility of the rider to ensure that they have a current AusCycling Licence, this is to make sure we follow the AusCycling club and insurance requirements. If you are a non member and would like to join us you can follow the link and take advantage of the AusCycling four week free trial membership (click here for 4 week trial link ) or sign a recreational day waver on the day. Please see the ride leader for the waiver to sign or if you have any questions.
