Motorcycling Victoria (MV) will conduct a Bushfire Relief Social Day at the State Motorcycle Sports Complex at Broadford on Saturday, 8 August 2009.
All circuits at the Complex will be open on the day, with the aim being to raise money for the MV Bushfire Fund. The MV Bushfire Fund was launched earlier this year by MV who wished to raise money for its members who were affected by the devastating bushfires.
All the money raised on the day will go towards the MV Bushfire Fund, and once completed MV will compile all the money raised over the last few months and divide it between those members whose situation was made aware to MV, with the aim of keeping them involved in the sport they love.
On the day, practice sessions will be available on the Road circuit, Motocross track, Supercross track, Dirt Track, Enduro loop and Trials area.
There will be a one off fee of $30 which will entitle the rider to participate on any track for which their bike is suitable. For example, a person with a Motocross bike could participate on the Motocross track, Supercross track and Enduro loop all for just $30.
Riders can even bring two different bikes and ride on the different circuits and still only pay $30. Classic MX and Quads are also welcome and will be allocated time on the MX track and Enduro loop on their own while the main groups have a break.
For those wishing to ride on the Road Circuit and Supercross track, there are some conditions (outlined below) that you need to be aware of.
Ride Fees
$30.00 – allows you to ride Motocross, Supercross*, Dirt Track, Enduro and Trials for the day. A current MV/MA licence is required. For those who do not hold a current licence, a one-day licence can be purchased on the day for $20.00.
* Supercross track – bookings are essential for the SX track and it will run only in the afternoon by an accredited coach who can complete SX Endorsements, which are required to ride. If you are not currently SX Endorsed this can be completed before the open practice session and, again, bookings are essential as numbers will be limited and it is on a first come first served basis. Bookings for the SX Track can be made by calling the MV Office on 03 9482 5422
** Road Circuit – the Road Circuit will be run by Champions Ride Days under their normal conditions at their normal rates, much of which will be donated to the MV Bushfire Fund. Bookings are essential and can be done through Champions directly at
www.championsridedays.com.au.
This day would not be possible without the help of our dedicated volunteers from several of our affiliated clubs, Champions Ride Days and the MV Staff at both the Clifton Hill Office and Broadford. A big thank you must also be extended to the Harley Club for opening up their land adjoining the Complex for use of their wonderful Trials area, which will be enjoyed by all participants.
MV invites you all to join us on this day and enjoy all that Broadford has to offer, with a great day of riding whilst also helping out your fellow Motorcycling Victoria members by contributing to the MV Bushfire Fund. If you can volunteer some time on the day to assist with the smooth running of the event, please contact the MV Office.
Food and drinks will be available on the day and will be provided by local groups who have also been affected by the bushfires.
More specific details will be available on the MV website in the week prior to the event.
