Perth Mountain Bike Club

PHIC are big supporters of cycling and cyclists in WA, they are also supportes of PMBC and are sponsoring the skills clinic this week end. If you are not doing the first XC race at Marrinup, then this great idea may interest you.

PIHC CYCLING GROUP – BIKE CLUES IT EVENT 28 March 2010 Sunday

Date: 28 March 2010 – Last day of Bike Week in Western Australia

Time: 7.30 am start to estimated 12 noon completion for family picnic

Location: Perry Lakes Drive – Alderbury Park in Floreat (off Oceanic Drive) – we start and end here.

Registration / Reporting Desk: Opens at 6.30 am.

Profile: To celebrate the end of Bike Week, the PIHC Cycling Club is hosting a Bike Clues It Event – for the first time ever an equivalent of a bicycle rally where teams compete for points, not associated with speed or racing – answer cryptic clues leading them through a 40 km route through the Perth metro region and eventually back to Perry Lakes start point.

Heads up!

This weekend is Clean up Australia day and as dirt riders, let's do our part "unofficially" as we do :). Should you decide to ride in the Kalamunda riding areas on Sat/Sun, could you throw a small rubbish bag in with your hydration pack please?

If you could collect some rubbish whilst out there & bring it home, that would be appreciated. We know about the Asbestos & cars, don't worry about them for now...(OK, if you've had your spinach this week & resemble Popeye, please do..)

Please post what "stuff" you collected as I'm sure there are tons of Gu/Carb Shotz wrappers, bottles etc etc out there!

Thank you,

Perth Mountain Bike Club Committee

Yes, Yes, Yes that's right, the website is getting an update. (being planned and put together now)

get ready for;

Some color
Some photos
Easier navigation
More information
Quokka Ads gone from the front page (have to click on classified's to get to the ads so everyone's ad can be seen, not just the ones on the front page)

In this post I am looking to get a democratic response to the question should we change/ upgrade/ modernise our PMBC logo? I personally believe yes 2010 is a time for change and the 1980s looking logo (that has serviced us well, and I'm not knocking it) should get a rest and we should display a new one on the website and all PMBC correspondance.

Anyhow below are some examples of the suggested new logo. Also attached is a voting form for all finacial paid members of PMBC both DH & XC to vote on the suggested new logo.

Please email me your vote form to me at this e-mail address: dh@perthmtb.com

Cheers,

CL-Clubba.

This will give small groups of participants per skills instructor, so that the participants get more out of the course.

Bron Comment: National Rounds are coming up this summer, why not put in for a $500 grant to help cover your cost of getting over East to compete. http://www.ausport.gov.au/champions

Young coaches and officials can now apply for their share of the Australian Sports Commission’s annual $1.6 million Local Sporting Champions grants — an Australian Government initiative to support junior sport.

Previously only available to young athletes, the Local Sporting Champions grants eligibility criteria has been broadened to recognise the importance of supporting young coaches and officials — crucial to Australia’s sporting grass roots.

‘Sporting competitions and achievements would not be possible without our young coaches and officials and these grants are one way the Australian Sports Commission is recognising their commitment and dedication to their chosen sporting field,’ said Judy Flanagan, ASC Director of Community Sport.

Tis the end of the XC/DH racing year! Bring your family along to Kings Park for a picnic and presentations.
