The Castlemaine Rocky Riders Mountain Bike Club, Dirt Crits Series starts on Thursday November 6 and registrations are now open!
Dirt Crits is a junior cross country mountain bike event series, consisting of 10 rounds of mountain biking fun. Five events will be held in November-December 2025 and a further five in February-March 2026 at the Walmer Forest trailhead, Daltons Road Castlemaine.
Dirt Crits are run as a handicapped format, with individual start times and laps to complete calculated week-to-week, based on lap times. So on any given week, anyone can win!
There are two categories: Dirt Cubs (age 3-7) and Dirt Masters (ages 8-14).
Castlemaine Rocky Riders member Mandy Chilcott said the Dirt Crits are all about fun.
“We encourage riders of all abilities to come and have a go, either to compete, or to just roll around and enjoy our local trails in a friendly and inclusive environment,” she said.
Cost of entry for each week of racing is just a gold coin donation. To register follow the link on the Castlemaine Rocky Riders Facebook page or visit www.rockyriders.com for more information.
