Junior Ride Day Barwon Downs October 25
Junior Ride Day Sunday October 25th – SAVE THE DATE
Otway Enduro Club is holding a junior ride day. This recreation ride is open to Otway Enduro Club members only (Juniors – up to 16 years can join for $25 per year). The aim of our Junior Ride Day is to encourage our children to have fun on motorbikes, improve their skills and to ride with other Juniors. The ride day is on private property at Barwon Downs.
If you are not a Junior Member please join up online here.
The riding is off-road on both single track and open grassed area. We have set-up two single track loops which include some testing hills. For riders not ready for this, there is an open grassed area available to develop your skills.
Payment and Registration
The club is currently transitioning our entry and insurance process. We will provide an update regarding payment and registration in the lead up to the recreation ride.
Parents Help
We are always grateful for extra help from our club community. While we already have strong parent support on the ride day itself, we are particularly looking for volunteers to assist with track set-up in the weeks leading up to the recreational ride. If you are available to help with track set-up or other tasks on the day, please contact Gareth Guy on 0437 039 441. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. We are also seeking qualified First Aiders who are willing to volunteer for a shift on the day. Your support would be invaluable in helping our existing volunteer team.
Motorbike Scrutineering
Parents/Guardians please note, the children’s motorbikes will be scrutineered before they can ride. Please make sure their brakes work, wheel bearings are in good order and their clutch and front brake levers have not had the end ball snapped off. The throttle returns to neutral position on its accord after revved. Please use common sense when inspecting your children’s bike, we want these recreation rides to be as safe as they can be and it starts with a safe bike.
