Lake Canobolas Mountain Bike Park
Join the Dirty Dozen on the first Sunday of every month for a club dig day. All the awesome mountain bike trails we enjoy in Orange only exist through the volunteer work we do.
The dig days are used for building new trails, maintaining and improving existing ones as well as building new facilities.
As well as making a contribution you'll also be learning from our experienced builders on how to create the trails that are fun to ride and made to last.
