Sponsor Spotlight: Cargo Rd Wines and Central West Gravel

Time to share the love!

First and foremost, we must thank Cargo Rd Wines who have been a committed sponsor of our club for many years. The winery is home to our shuttle trailer!! James and his team consistently produce amazing wines and are award winning for doing so in an ecologically sustainable fashion, which really sits well with us! Be sure to drop in to the cellar door for a drink after your ride, it is only just around the corner from the trails!!

Find out more about Cargo Rd Wines

Another big thanks goes to Central West Gravel who have come on board as sponsor in the past couple of years. They also have donated gravel to our club for trail building such as the freshly revamped pump track at The Lake Tracks!! We look forward to many years to come working with this amazing local company!! Check them out!

Ongoing maintenance

Keeping Glenwood’s trails to the high standard riders expect takes over 300 volunteer and contractor hours each year, and over $30,000 in funding.

A huge thank you goes to our contractors and volunteers:

  • Dave Wilton Excavations – a very recent touch up of the top section of TOA!!

  • Mick Aplin Landscaping – vegetation control.

  • Iconic Trails – intermittently returning to perform scheduled maintenance.

  • Destination Trails - recently returned to perform a touch up to True Blue!

If you enjoy the trails but can’t make it to a dig day, please consider supporting in other ways:

  • Volunteer at an event (a key revenue source for the club).

  • Make a small donation for every ride.

Every contribution helps keep Glenwood rideable and fun for all.

 

Become a Trail Goat

Continue to support our trails by becoming a registered Trail Goat. Becoming a goat means you can help us maintain trail in your own time and get rewards! We will post maintenance work required on our website and social media - send us photos of your work and you will receive a discount code for access to FREE SHUTTLES!!

Thank you to our sponsors

Risk warning

Mountain biking is an inherently risky sport, and injuries are a common and expected part of participating. We ride on steep, rugged, and challenging terrain and features. Falls and collisions occur frequently, and track conditions, obstacles, and features can and will change without warning. Our trails are marked as green, blue, black or red according to their level of difficulty. Always ride within your limits, and stay safe.
