MTBEG - Mountain Biking East Gippsland
The Joyride Rookie Cup is Australia’s first ever fully dedicated youth downhill series. By providing a true pathway into state and national level competition as well as providing a lower barrier of entry to new racers, the ‘Rookie Cup’ is designed to capture the ever-growing, new wave of up-and-coming downhill talent and give them the foundation to take on the sport of downhill headfirst!
For the event details the following link will take you directly to the Joyride Rookie Cup website: Round 2 (therookiecup.com.au)
Race registrations open on Friday 20 September at 6pm, ensure you have your Auscycle membership number on hand and an up-to-date race license, race entry link: Event Entry | Joyride Rookie Cup (therookiecup.com.au)
The event will be held out at the Mt Taylor MTB Park, where there is plenty of room for all to enjoy. The club will be providing a canteen with snacks and drinks and a BBQ breakfast and lunch both days.
For this event, we need volunteers to help with a variety of different roles from cooking the club BBQ to marshalling on the track to driving a bus.
There are two sign up sheets, they are as follows:
1: Event Roles – Track marshals, bus drivers, car park marshals, bike loaders: https://volunteersignup.org/8L4CB
For these roles, Joyride Rookie Cup are putting up 2x $500 vouchers for two lucky volunteers to spend on an amazing night out, to spend as they please…accommodation, food, Uber, whatever you wish for. For every ‘shift’ you complete, they will add your name into the draw.
2: Club Canteen Roles – Cooking, food preparation and customer service: https://volunteersignup.org/YX7C8
The club will be running a canteen over both days of the event and be providing breakfast, lunch, drinks and snacks. The funds raised from the canteen will be put back into the club and go towards equipment and track maintenance and improvement. These roles are ineligible for the Joyride Rookie Cup prize draw.
Have a look at the sign up sheets, invite friends and family, there is a job to suit everyone and you are more than welcome to volunteer for more than one shift across either of the days.
