Perth Mountain Bike Club will be holding the Cyclemaina North Perth Cross Country State Championships and the Hi-Way Cycles Downhill State Championships on the 8th October at the “Goat Farm”, Greenmount.

The Goat Farm has been given a face lift recently, turning it from an underground freeriding area, to a legitimate mountain bike park. This has been made possible through grants from Lotteries West, Department of Sport and Recreation and CALM.

The State Championships will consist of both Cross Country and Downhill events being staged on the same day, something which has been rarely done in WA but will have the ability to draw a far bigger crowd than any other previous events. The proximity of the “Goat farm” to Perth means that a far bigger turnout is possible.

There will be many local stores and food outlets present at the event and will be fully catered including the world famous “Little Caesar’s Pizzeria” from Mundaring. There will also be many local bike stores in attendance and Demo bikes available on the day.

How to Get There

Entry to the Goatfarm park is off Greenmount Rise, Greenmount. Greenmount rise is off Great Eastern Highway, 200m after Scott St on your right as you drive up the Highway. Parking is limited, so you may need to park along Coongan Av or Coulston Rd, which are off Scott St

Registration Options

We will be issuing special State Championship plates for this event (included in race fee). We will not be using the plates from the season. Plates can be collected on Saturday between 10am and 4pm or on the day from 8am to 11am.

All competitors who do not have an MTBA or UCI license will be required to purchase a day license at the event for $15. This is compulsory under MTBA guidelines as this provides competitors with insurance to race the event. All competitors who have a license will be required to present their card or receipt when picking up their number plate on the day, if you do not have proof of license you will have to purchase a day license.
