Ok guys, Bacchus marsh mx track is now complete, what we need is for anyone that is available to come down to help water the track in for the weekend from Wednesday night on wards, and also to clean up & slash all the weeds around the car park. We are constructing a car park up the top of the hill as well so this may need some finishing touches up there as well.

latest news regarding new track ! I am able to confirm the opening of the new track ! This date is scheduled for Easter Sunday . We were originally only going to be closed for three weeks , but as things go with construction it doesn’t always go to plan . No fault to Schaefer tracks or the committee as we were working there as much as we could . Disregarding the time it took to build the jump ,alot of the time was spent building up the front part of the track so as we shouldn’t have anymore flooding issues as we have in the past .that area took over 1000 truckloads of dirt before we could build the first jump ! That said I thank all our members for being patient and can now announce that in Lou of this your membership has been extended for an extra month ! :))it now expires on the last day of FEB 2013 .!
I urge all our members to take care and respect our new track once it opens and to ride the track area . This means do not go off the track to go around certain jumps and create your own lines .if that happens I will close the track for another week to re adjust the track .
I also ask that you ride within your means as this track has been designed to challenge the novice and pro alike .if you are inexperienced or a younger rider you can jump to land on the first part of the jump , but for the more experienced riders , you can try clearing them .
This track was designed to suit most but will probably not suit all .we will make changes if they are required . We hope this is the sort of track that will make everybody a better rider and our riders amongst the best in the country .
This track at times will also get pretty chopped out in no time ,do not complain if the track is not in pristine condition every time you go out there . People that race will tell you that it only takes half a day of riding to hammer a track . We will be having regular working bees so it’s up to you to help or loose your membership .
So on behalf of my committee I welcome you all to try our new track re opening on Easter Sunday … Cheers to all ..

Track updates

the boys from Schaefer tracks have been busy this week working their magic!anyone that’s been to the track this week will know that their work is pretty impressive !the rain has not bothered them and it’s been full speed ahead .one of the boys has had to go and build a track in Hawaii and will return in a weeks time ! In the mean time mitch will soldier on working on the front part of the track ,leveling it out , building a pad and raising the track so as when it rains , flooding is minimized . We are expecting about 80 truck loads of dirt per day , so when Shane arrives from Hawaii it should take them about 3 days to finish the front part .we have been advised to let the track set for about a week , which we will , this will give us an opportunity to set the new watering system and get it ready for the grand opening .
Schaefer tracks have been informed about the caliber of riders we have at our club , which include beginners on pee wees through to pro riders . I think so far they have met those criterias as what they have built so far can be jumped or u can land on top of the jump without to much grief .
I hope all our members enjoy and appreciate the effort of the current committee in bringing you this new upgrade to the club and hope that you will help us maintain the new track when asked or rostered on and look forward to catching up with u all at some stage for a chat !
So please be patient , it will all be worth it !!!
Manny .

Hi everyone. Welcome to 2012. This year is starting off with a new track and a calendar full of events. We have 6 club days, Club Champs, an 2 day open and our Twilight. For all events, entries will need to be in on the closing date. Last year we had way to many people ringing to put entries in on the day. This makes alot more work for me on the day and I am ordering trophies that we don’t need. So to ensure this doesn’t happen, get your entries in. We will put sending out the entry forms as well as putting them on the web site. We hope everyone has a safe year.
