A message from a local mum if anyone keen to share 🙂

Hi there
My son is 11 years old and obsessed with mountain biking. We spend a lot of weekends on different trails in the area.
His most favourite one is Mt Hutt.
I’m asking if there are any like minded parents or riders who would be keen to ride Mount Hutt with us.
I can’t always take him as need an adult or someone older going down with him, then someone obviously has to shuttle the car.
I appreciate any help
I’m more than happy to take other kids.

Please message Alana Shefford if you can help.
