Love this race! 😍 2024 Kalamunda 50 🚵🏼‍♀️🚵🏼‍♂️

The Kalamunda 50 is a yearly event run by John Carney and the team at Wembley cycles. It’s been running for nearly 15 years and is super popular with the local riders. And as you might expect, it’s a 50km race through the Kalamunda trail network and surrounding area. It promises a minimum of 50% singletrack with the rest being made of up fire roads and gazetted gravel roads. It’s always a great day out and I reckon it’s one of the must-do races if you're into mountain biking in the Perth area.
Cheers to‪@eichkay‬ for the lend of the bike! 🤟

Hey mate I’ve seen a lot of your videos you are great at posting keep up the good work

[@RyanDillonMTB]

Thanks mate! Appreciate the comment 🤟

[@tristanhodkinosn5422]

Great ride Ryan, I was the young guy you were taking about. When you took my line on the up hill that was when my chain snapped and I had to stop in the middle before walking the rest of the race.

[@RyanDillonMTB]

Hey Tristan! Oh that sucks mate, you looked like you were doing so well! Is that what caused the slip in the first place? Better luck next time hey 🤟

Great vid Ryan, They just get better. The trails looked Primo ( for Kala) and Iove those graphics as well, especially the little bike rider on the gradients 😀 Cleats, Yeah baby ! Just a bit more practice and they become second nature. Finally what a great ride

[@RyanDillonMTB]

Thanks Adam! Appreciate the comment mate and I hope your trip is going well (Great to see you getting some rides in!)

[@connorsturman]

Looked like good fun mate! I’ll definitely have to enter next year

[@RyanDillonMTB]

For sure man, you'd have a blast, chuck some xc tyres on the trance you'll be on the hunt.

[@JonandNatWest]

Rode really strong, Ryan! The Trek definitely would've suited better than the Genius.

[@RyanDillonMTB]

Thanks Jon! Yeah I reckon you're right, the Trek is a weapon. Glad I got to try it out but I'm a little annoyed that now I need another bike 😅
