There will be five races/events. The focus is on having a good fun time and there will be two races on each night. the first one each night will be a 20 minute short course race using the bottom area of the Goatfarm. At this point beginners and new riders have an opportunity to get shown around by myself or one of the other organisers to check out the track and just get accustomed to riding off road. The second race each week will be either a short version of the cross coutnry, a Super D or a pony express. The Super D is like an xc race but with a downhill focus. The pony express is a random team relay. We choose the teams of two and then send you off racing.
The aim is to introduce new people to mountain biking and also give others a chance to sharpen their skills in the lead up to the new season. So bring any of your friends along who have thought about doing a race or two and help them discover how much fun it can be.
The first event is on Wedneday 20th Feb and then runs for the next five weeks.
Entry is FREE to all club members (this includes Peel and Southwest members).
Bikeforce Midland will provide random prizes each week and will also have some of the new Trek range of bikes available for test rides.
Sounds like a good time to be had and only a short drive from work. Makes more sense than lamb on Australia Day. Looking forward to meeting some faces.
He,yeah
I second that!
mmm
Yes thats a good question cause I need to know how long I have to get my fitness up again. Also who is up for racing SINGLE SPEEDS this year?
