Getting Started
The first step in racing is joining a motorcycle club. Joining Hastings Valley Motorcycle Club on the Mid North Coast offers an exciting opportunity to connect with fellow dirt bike enthusiasts who share a passion for adrenaline-fuelled racing and off-road adventures.
​
Our club provides a supportive community where members can participate in organised Motocross and Enduro racing, training sessions, Kick Start programs, and social (Ride Park Day) events, while promoting safe riding practices and skill development for riders of all levels. Whether you're a seasoned motocross racer or just starting out, becoming part of Hastings Valley Motorcycle Club allows you to refine your riding skills and grow in confidence.
​​
There are a few different ways to get started, depending on your age and the discipline you would like to get involved in. The first step is to choose a club and then set up your Ridernet profile.
​
Ridernet is an online system used across Australia to manage entries for both competitive and non-competitive events. If you get stuck at any point, please reach out and we can help you through the process.
​
Check out the step-by-step guide below to help you get started.
Ridernet Profile Setup
Click here to go to the Ridernet website. Please not that Ridernet is best accessed on a laptop or desktop computer, as using a mobile device can be more difficult when setting up your profile for the first time. You may choose to watch the Ridernet demo video or follow the steps below.
Before you start
Ambulance Cover must be organised first. Ambulance Cover is compulsory for all riders. If you hold a concession card, please check with Services NSW to confirm whether Ambulance Cover is included.
