The grand opening of the Smithfield MTB Park went down on the weekend with MTBA President Tony Scott and the Hon Dr Lesley Clark officially openning the Smithield MTB Park. Starting with a social ride for everyone on the Green Frog Loop followed by a lunch celebration and then round 1 of the Cairns clubs MTX championships. The day was a bright one for MTBing Australia and another great milestone from Glen Jacob's and his team of hardworking club members, Whos dedication and dreams have created a permanent MTB park with awesome facilities only 30mins drive from Cairns CBD.

Smithfield's MTB Park along with Hilltop Oasis (Brisbane MTB Park) driven by Shane Johnson and his team of builders allow us MTB riders to ride on purpose built trails which are fully legal and safe to ride.

Congrats to Glen and everyone in Cairns for the work they have done and we sure as hell are looking forward to being apart of some of the major events kicking off in the near future.
