Event Overview

Hi Riders

Unfortunately and with great regret the Tathra MTB club was postponed the Tathra MTB festival to Sept. T

The main purpose of the Tathra MTB festival is to share our trails with the wider MTB community while raising money for trail maintenance. The rider experience and safety along with the trails are likely to be negatively impacted by the wet weather. The most recent rains and wind had an extremely significant impact on our trails, which required close to 200 man hours to repair due to a very large number of tree falls. Several of our trails had not even dried completely from those rains, suggesting the ground has limited capacity to absorb the coming wet weather. NPWS has also contacted the club to raise concerns about rider impact on their trails due to the predicted wet weather.These are the things the club considered in making their decision and we wished to communicate this as quickly as possible to allow riders to make alternate plans.

ALL RIDERS WILL BE GIVEN A FULL REFUND. The committee will be discussing the alternative dates (currently Sept 11/12) . Please keep upto date with us on facebook and we will email all riders once the new dates are confirmed.
