Old Mans Valley Bike & Film Festival
The Old Mans Valley Bike & Film Festival returns to Hornsby on Saturday, November 7 2015. It’s a day full of off-road bike events and free kids races, followed by an outdoor cinema under the stars in Hornsby Park - all wrapped inside a tongue-in-cheek, spaghetti-western theme.
There will be XC racing, cyclocross and the ‘Bomber/Whippet Relay’. Developed by Sydney North Off Road Cyclists (SNORC), the Bomber/Whippet relay features teams of two; the Bomber (downhill rider) and Whippet (climber). Combining the best of mountain biking disciplines, the Bomber is let loose on a downhill course, tagging in the Whippet to weave his or her way back up the brutal pinches to the top.
According to SNORC president Campbell King, “It’s about the community coming together in a celebration of bicycles and having places to ride them – regardless of your age or skill level”.
“Last year was popular with both elite riders and beginners, making for a great spectator event. Hornsby is easy to get to and the low entry cost makes it accessible to everyone.”
There will also be a BBQ lunch and lots of activities for the entire family.
