Events

Since it’s a big trip and well worth planning ahead; we want to suggest the trip of a lifetime; join us down under for the MTB event in Melrose South Australia. This cool tiny town sits in the shadow of Mt Remarkable, the highest mountain around at the south end of the Flinders Mountains just 3 hours north of Adelaide.  Singletrack surrounds town winding through the massive Gum Trees and the abundant Kangaroos and Kukaburra’s in the warm winters of Australia. If you want a trip to remember, come to Melrose and see how the Aussies do a Singletrack Celebration, it won’t disappoint.

What

A celebration of mountain biking - A variety of rides for all ages - Rides vary from double black diamond epic 5 hr circumnavigation of the hills to an easy tour through the streets of Melrose stopping at a local coffee shop.  Experienced riders can grab a map and head off with their buddies. For those who are looking for more support, a knowledgeable local will guide groups around the trails. The programme has been designed to take in a skills session in the morning then enjoy a ride in the afternoon.
We have the Australian Mountain Bike magazine boys as well as Ian Fehler from Escape Goat coming to pass on their skills and knowledge to all levels – beginners / intermediate and advanced. They will do maintenance and skills courses.
It is not all about the riding though – The clunker crit is on so don’t forget to bring your clunker –as old and ugly or beautiful as you like - whatever you find. Dress to impress. This is followed by the tall bikes parade courtesy - The Rat Patrol from Canberra. Their impressive ‘’freak bikes’’ are made from hard rubbish.  Escape goat will be running the ever popular Cycle Olympiad with some great prizes. Sunday Figure of 8 finals from the Rat Patrol on the tall bikes out at the Show-grounds the next day so come along and watch some local music, try your luck at Karaoke at the Mt Remarkable Pub and bring your sombrero and guitar for our jam session at North Star’s Mexican fiesta.
