TASMANIAN MINIBIKE/CYCLE TRAINING CLUB INC

This Club is for girls and boys up to and including sixteen years of age.  Its aim is to channel the enthusiasm of young people with mini-bikes in the right direction within a safe environment and increase their riding skills.

The Club meets every second Sunday, February to early December, at Elderslie, on land made available by a local farmer.

There are 5 different circuits and skill-building obstacles with the emphasis on friendly social riding rather than intense competition.  Riders are divided into groups according to their ability.

To operate effectively the club relies heavily on the help given by parents and guardians.  It is a Club rule that a responsible adult must accompany riders. The adults help by acting as marshals and scorers or assisting with maintenance of the track and other facilities.

It is BYO lunch and refreshments, but many families make use of the barbecue facilities at the clubhouse.

The annual membership fee is $50 for the 1^st rider and $10 for every additional rider in the same family, plus $10 per rider per ride day.

Mini-bikes are limited to a maximum of 4 stroke 150cc & 2 stroke 100cc capacity at the Club complex (wheel size restrictions apply). Each rider must have an approved motorbike helmet, goggles, gloves and boots with no laces, and wear long trousers and long sleeves. Whilst it is not necessary to buy expensive motorbike boots and trousers, most riders eventually decide to save up and buy them.

Track meetings at Elderslie start at 10.30am and finish at 3.00pm. St Johns Ambulance is in attendance at every meet.

All persons attending any meeting do so entirely at their own risk; motorbike riding is a dangerous sport and can result in injury and/or death.
