About

From the GMBC Kurrajong Carpark at Plantation to the Anglesea MTB trails, this feels like a dirt-under-the-shoes club session, not a large start-line event. The names “Dirt Squirts 2026 Autumn Series Skills Day #1” and “Dirt Girls May Social Ride” suggest a practical skills and social ride focused on learning, conversation, and trail comfort. The useful detail is the small-group format: four groups are planned, with a maximum of 8 participants in each. This setup allows beginners to ask questions rather than staying silent at the back. The day seems geared towards riding features effectively, staying safe, and building confidence, rather than racing the clock. Geelong Mountain Bike Club places significant emphasis on junior safety and wellbeing.
