Other News
Earlier in the year the club received a grant from Park Victoria to go towards trail building tools. The club now has an arsenal of tools at our disposal which we will be able to use on the new trail that Adrian Wale is building in the Dromana Secondary School grounds for the Victorian Schools Cyclling Championships (Eastern Zone). We thank Parks Vic very much for their generosity.
06.01.12 - Round 1 Victorian State XC Series - Ellie Wale
Check out the RHR forums for a great race report from Ellie from the Wimmera Hills Winery, Elmhurt race.
"I kept turning my head worried at who I was going to see. I was about 1km from the finish line riding along a firetail when I looked around and saw absolutely no one."
Congratulations to all the RHR riders who competed in what sounds like a gruelling race!

09.07.11 - Parking and News
It's been a while since updates, but that's not to say that little has been happening at RHR HQ.
Red Hill Consolidated School have been kind enough to allow us the use of their car park on Arthurs Seat Road. We have had troubles in the past with the lack of parking on Flinders Rd (opposite the shops), with the shop keepers expressing their concern that there are few parks left for other customers. We now have the solution and ask that on Sunday rides, please park in the "upper" carpark at RHCS (shown in red in the image below)

In other news, the trails team have been very busy in mapping the myriad trails that we use, talking to Parks Victoria, meeting with the council, and other local interest groups. With their hard work, we should see some trails opening up sooner, rather than later.
30.01.11 - Peninsula Mountain Bike Proposal
The trail development team have done some brilliant work and created the attached document. The idea is to begin with a broad plan such as the one attached to get the council and other relevant parties notified, and then to fill in the details and increase the resolution of the plan as we get more information.

23.01.11 - Blazing Saddles Results
Yesterdays event went off without a hitch. Thanks to all who made the effort to get out there and race on such a beautiful day. A big thankyou to all the volunteers that made the day possible as well as all the sponsors who made both the race, and the fund raising possible. The turn out was amazing and the fund raising was a big success. We will announce the final figure of funds raised and donated as soon as they become available.
