The first day of the weekend-long Kingaroy Lions Trail Ride will be held at Half Mile Creek Road, off Minmore Road south-west of Kingaroy (look for the signs) from 8:30am this morning through until late this afternoon.

It's a non-competitive trail ride open to all classes of dirt bikes (no quads), and has been moved to a new location this year to keep it interesting for regulars. The Ride features Pee Wee, Novice and Open tracks and it's always a lot of fun.

There's also a licensed bar running Friday and Saturday between 4:30pm and 9:00pm; a great afternoon tea on offer today provided by the QCWA; and a great raffle too. Everyone is welcome!
