Transport
Individual transport will be required to attend the Rover MTB weekend, however we are all about carpooling and will facilitate this via our facebook event! If you have not yet joined click the link here. Access to the chalet at this stage is not available via Mt Beauty due to a landslip, so we recommend travelling either via Omeo or Wodonga. Arrival times are any time after dinner on the Friday night, please park up at the cope hut carpark and walk yourself and your gear down to the chalet.
We will be hiring trailer(s) from the Scout Cycling Team for your bike and gear.
Bike Hire
Bike Hire is available from the Scout Cycling Team, included in the ticket options in this booking form. We encourage you to bring your own mountain bike, but if you don't have one you can hire for $30 for the 3-day weekend. We will be riding single track mountain bike trails with lots of rocks. Hybrid and cyclocross bikes are unsuitable. Working front suspension is also a must. If you're unsure if your bike is suitable, please contact: mtbbookings@bogongroverchalet.org.au
Venue
The event will be based out of the Bogong Rover Chalet. The Chalet has hot showers, toilets, large kitchen and games room. It sleeps 35 in the upstairs loft area on mattresses on the floor (BYO sleeping bag and pillow case). There is no mobile reception at the Chalet, but there is a land line for emergencies. The Chalet uses a roster to divide daily chores, including cooking, firewood, dishes and cleaning. The Bogong Rover Chalet is located ~11km from the Falls Creek Resort.
