Recent Munda Biddi Events

Munda Biddi Cooking With Gas Night

We had a full house for the inaugural Munda Biddi Cooking with Gas Night on Tuesday 3rd of July. Although
the ingredients didn't look to inviting at the start once the meals were complete they tasted fantastic!

Each group cooked 2 main meals and 1 dessert meal and everyone was able to taste each others
cooking. By the end of it we had all tasted 10 main meals and 4 desserts.... so no one went home hungry!

Thanks to our Head Chef Steve from Bibbulmun Track and also to Murray Wynne for helping out on the night.

Munda Biddi Mechanics Clinic

The very first Munda Biddi Mechanics Clinic was held on Sunday the 10^th of June at Dwellingup Adventures. We were very lucky that the usual Dwellingup weather held off for us this time and it was a lovely sunny day (although it was still chilly).

The 19 keen participants learnt many new mechanical skills on how to service and fix their Mountain Bike, with the majority ending up with rather greasy hands by the end. Now they will all be able to fix their own bikes in case of a broken spoke or chain whilst on the Munda Biddi Trail.

Thanks to Josh for instructing this clinic and for once again helping make this event such a success.

The Department of Sport and Recreation has provided funding to the Munda Biddi Trail Foundation to bring the Mechanics Clinic to Dwellingup to bring the best of Sport to regional WA.

They all enjoyed a morning of theory and a light lunch before heading out on the Munda Biddi Trail for the practical session. It was a fantastic day and from the feedback we received everyone had a great time and really learnt a lot for the course.

Many thanks to Josh from Dwellingup Adventures for instructing the course and also to Murray and Jenny for all their help.

Munda Biddi Beginners Clinic

22 Riders braved the wet and wild Dwellingup weather to attend the Munda Biddi Beginners Clinic on Sunday the 29^th of April. It poured down with rain the whole morning (luckily whilst we were under the cover for the theory session) but amazingly cleared up for us when we went outside to ride.

Everyone was also lucky enough to have the biggest gourmet sandwiches any of us had every seen for our ‘light’ lunch (thanks to the Mill House Café) before we headed off for our ride.

The clinic was a lot of fun and everyone learnt a lot of new off-road riding skills which we were able to show off when we went out for our ride on the Munda Biddi Trail. One of the groups even came across a horse and carriage on the trail which was something very different and defiantly not expected.

Thanks to Josh from Dwellingup Adventures for instructing the clinic and teaching us some of his expertise. Also thanks to Mark, Luke and Robbie for helping Josh out with the skills circuit and also being the ride leaders and sweeps.
