Meet the Committee
The volunteers behind LDTR.
LDTR is entirely volunteer run. Every trail repair, event setup, and community ride is made possible by members who give up their time to support the riding community. If you’re interested in helping out — whether it’s trail work, events, or lending a hand behind the scenes — we’d love to hear from you.

The volunteers behind LDTR
The people who help keep LDTR rolling
Lysterfield’s trails exist because riders care enough to look after them. Our volunteers give their time to maintain trails, organise events and help the club run smoothly. You’ll often find them at working bees, club rides or out on the trails — usually with a shovel, rake or clipboard close by.
