DH Race Reccy | Fox Creek | Shuttles
Join us for shuttles at Fox! This is a ticketed event as we will have 2 shuttle vehicles to shuttle you all back up the hill.
We will be taking a good look at the track Blue Groove, which is the race track for the upcoming Gravity Girls DH (Downhill) race! Our guides will run you through what will happen on the day of the race and how the DH race format works.
All riding levels are welcome - if you are a beginner rider, please note that we will be riding down a blue DH trail. We will split into 3 groups on the day - level 1, 2 & 3.
Don't worry at all if you aren't committed to entering the race - or if you know nothing about it, it will still be a super fun & inclusive ride - you can stick with the race reccy group, or you can do your own thing.

What to bring
All riders are expected to be self-sufficient. Here are some things you might like to bring/think about:
Make sure your bike is in good working order - bring any spares you might need
Wear appropriate clothing (enclosed shoes, comfortable sports clothing)
Bring enough water and snacks for the ride! (there is a water fill station at the car park)
Bring any relevant medications
Prepare for the weather. As a wise Scotsman once said, “Ach, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing”. Think about sunscreen, a rain jacket, a change of clothes, etc.
If you have a full-face helmet, we recommend that you wear it for shuttles
