timing is everything
Better timing.
Better racing.
Better events.
Timing is everything. In mountain biking, every second counts—and our timing equipment needs to keep up.
Our current system has served the club well for many years, but it’s reached the point where it needs to be replaced.
You’ve probably seen the signs: delayed results, missing results and the need to borrow equipment from other clubs when we run downhill and enduro events.
To keep delivering the events our riders deserve, we need an upgrade.
The good news? We’ve found the right solution.
The challenge? It costs around $26,000.


Help out
Get involved.
A modern timing system will provide faster, more reliable results and support every discipline we run, from cross-country and schools racing through to downhill and enduro. It’s an investment that will benefit riders of all ages for years to come.
Over the coming months we’ll be fundraising through events, grants, sponsorship and donations. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps bring us closer to our goal.
Check out our progress on the fundraising thermometer below, get involved in our fundraising activities or make a donation through our club bank account (details below).
