Five well rugged up youngsters enjoyed racing around their own special track in the ‘Mud Flickers’ event.
This race is for children who are too young to complete one 5km lap of the full track.
Track conditions were good after some light rain during the week dampened the dust.
The track crew had been busy building some new berms and improving the trails - a big thanks to the dedicated members who put in the hours to ensure great racing once a month.
The weather gods were smiling on the riders and although the morning was overcast the rain held off throughout the race.
Perhaps it was too cold to rain…
Participant numbers were down due to Lake Lunacy and the Chocolate Foot race being held on the same day.
Results were available on the day and can be viewed at www.scum.asn.au.
Another strong Ulladulla contingent had fun racing and gained good results with several first and second placings in their classes.
Different classes allow racers to select an event suitable for their age and fitness level and everyone enjoys the relaxed and casual atmosphere at the South Coast United Mountain Bikers race days.
All categories of riders are catered for!
The ‘Pink Wheel’ race is coming up on August 17.
It’s an all ages and categories family event with a focus on women - so if you know any ladies who are interested in having a go at mountain bike racing encourage them to come along and join in the fun.
This will also be a pink ribbon cancer council fund raising event raising money for cancer research.
The ‘Pink Wheel’ race will be held at Coondoo.
The track is rated intermediate with 'B' lines around difficult sections and is about 10km long.
Race participants can choose to do from one to two laps depending upon the category that they enter.
