Dirt Night - Mountain bike meet and greet and swap meet with great prizes - community meet up
We had over 60 people turn up for the third Dirt Night, our monthly MTB meet and greet night held in conjunction with Forestville Ferrets Rugby. We had speakers from Avanti Hellfire and Trail care with both St. Ives Cyclery and Avanti+ Narrabeen chipping in with prizes and free basic bike services. Specialized also kicked in prizes and in the end we handed out two major and 2 minor prizes.
The clubhouse was full of bike and buzzing with riders talking all things MTB. We had some great video up from Specialized on the projector and snag sandwiches and snacks catered by the rugby club.
A great MTB community
I just wanted to say a few words about the MTB community and specifically the guys that frequent the trails on the Northern Beaches.
I’ve been actively riding my MTB on the Northern Beaches tracks and trails for the last 12 months. Up until recently I was riding a piece of crap Big W bike but I never copped any shit for it, people accepted that I was just out having a go and were always friendly. In fact when I busted a chain at the end of the Long Track at Duffy’s Forest every rider who came past stopped to check if I was ok and many offered to check if they had a spare link.
