Emerald Inn — Space for the Bikes, a Wash for the Kit
BMX weekends come with bikes, a trailer or roof rack, and race gear that finishes the day filthy. Standard vehicles use our free undercover car park, larger trailers use the street parking around 28–30 Esmond Street, and the washer-dryer in every apartment deals with the rest.
The rain shower is a small thing that riders and parents both appreciate at the end of a hot day at the track. Full kitchen too, for a dinner that arrives sooner than a restaurant one.
