Ride Database Entry: 
Rydal
Meeting Point: 

The main rd in has been dusty as all get up so in an effort to keep on the good side of the locals it might be best to come in via the showground.

From the highway come into Rydal, cross the train tracks and take a left before the Pub (Showground signposted.)

Go around the top side of the show ground and follow the road around to the left. This will take you around towards the top side of the cemetery. from there a couple of cross rd will bring you back tot he bicentennial trail and thus the car park

It's back, Tuesday Night Racing at Rydal.

First 2 rounds will be come and try days. Free of charge and no timing.

First 4 or so racing rounds will not require lights. Then as days get shorter lights will be needed for anyone doing more than 1 lap until every will be starting int he dark come end of Day light Savings.

If you could click the star to show your intention of coming so we get an idea of numbers that would be great.

Kick off is 6:30 so 5:45pm rego opens, if you are new or need to renew your license please turn up earlier rather than later.

We are fairly relaxed, A grade just means you do more laps and we encourage every one to have a go, we don't have podiums or prizes so it's about getting out there and competing against your own time and your mates.

So don't be intimidated by the "race" tag. We all just go out to do our best.

Doing the higher grade with more laps will gain you more series points.

There is a shorter track for juniors and we've had increasing numbers in u13s and u10s

Racing starts at 6:30pm

Lights

Lights are a must from outside day light savings and on those rounds indicated above you wont be able to start unless you have atleast one working front light.

We recommend at least a 5w halogen equivalent.

You can get powerful el chepo LED from just about any where but if you are after something top notch check out the Aussie madeK-lites from out good friend Kerry Stait.

Most of us head back to the Alexander hotel at Rydal for a feed and a drink afterwards.

For the first time ever Macquarrie region of State Forest is invoking it's extreme fire danger clause and has prohibited entry to all forests in our area.

With some wild wilds and hot temps over the next couple of days all riders are asked to stay away from Rydal and other trails in the forests in our area until further notice.

With this in mind we have postpond round 1 of the tuesday night series.

Thanks for your understanding
