2010 Sees the announcement of a whole new era of club series downhill mountain bike racing at Peel District Mountain Bike Club. In 2010 racing will not purely be held in Dwellingup, but will also be held at another of WA’s premium DH Locations, Wellington Mills Pines.
This has come about after being approached by the committee of the SWMBC for help to team up and hopefully bring back a permanent future to DH for the South West region of WA. We hope to provide some great racing during 2010,and to help encourage the involvement of DH riding again for the South West Mountain Bike Club.
