The dust

was thick and

riders had to

navigate by

memory from

the day before

TRAILRIDE I KINGAROY TWO-DAY, QLD

Deep ruts in the sandy creek bed were tricky

Without rain in the lead up it would have been dusty

The Kingaroy Trailride caters for all ages and abilities Motocross bikes allowed

It’s great to see more and more kids

coming along each year, it’s a real

family weekend, they love it.

“It’s not just about the mad bike

riders, there is something for every

level and ability of riding.”

Kingaroy was a real team effort to

put on, the Kingaroy Lions Club

organised the event this year as their

major fundraiser with help from the

Wooroolin Lions, Nanango Lions,

Kingaroy Quota Club, QCWA,

Kumbia Kindergarten, St Johns

Ambos and the SES.

The burgers were fantastic, with the

crew cooking up pretty much all their

supplies. Next year the Lions plan to

crank up the pizza oven, fingers

crossed.

Next Year?

The Kingaroy Lions Club Trailride

has already released the dates for

the same event next year. It’s

moved the event back to the last

week in May and will run on 26

and 27 May, 2018. So put in your

leave request now and get out

there for some sandy fun!
