Castlemaine Rocky Riders Mountain Bike Club is holding a Family Camp Out at La Larr Ba Gauwa (Harcourt Mountain Bike Park) on Dja Dja Wurrung country on Saturday April 5.
Rocky Riders member Mandy Chilcott said they wanted to create an event that the entire family and mountain bike community could enjoy.
“Finding an event that keeps everyone happy can be tricky, so you’ll find bushwalking, yoga, an Easter egg hunt, night walk and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery at the Oak Forest campground in Picnic Gully Road, Harcourt,” Mandy said.
“Our junior committee members Max, Angus and Mitchell have been involved in the planning of this event and are looking forward to guiding the night walk and managing the Easter Egg hunt.”
Participants will also be able to enjoy rides on both Saturday and Sunday.
“We have green trail family rides, which allow young and novice riders to experience the joys of mountain bike riding,” Mandy said.
“Our women’s ride offers a supportive and inclusive environment, encouraging women to participate in mountain bike riding, and connect with a community of like-minded riders.
“And our intermediate ride is tailored to the more experienced riders, requiring a good level of fitness to ascend the trails and navigate the technical features on these trails.”
On Sunday morning, earlybirds can enjoy a Body Balance session combining tai chi, yoga and pilates before hitting the trails again.
The day will be capped off with the Easter egg hunt and morning tea.
Entry to the Family Camp Out event is by way of a donation on the day. All funds raised will go to supporting the Harcourt Mountain Bike Park trail maintenance.
Any donation, big or small, is greatly appreciated.
Take your family and friends along for an action-packed weekend!
