Old Mans Valley Short Track Racing Series (more info http://www.snorc.org.au/)

Get your bikes lubed, slap on the lycra and get ready to work off the festive season by throwing yourself into a lather of sweat in a summer short track series!

For the uninitiated this means going as hard as you can for about 15 minutes followed by lying on the ground and then enjoying a cool drink and BBQ as the sun sets over the valley.

Following on from the successful OMV Bike Festival, Hornsby Council have granted the OK to a short track series to be run from Jan to Mar 2015.

The racing will be on the last Wed of each month - 28th Jan, 25th Feb and 25th Mar.

We have picked dates to work in with the Manly Warringah Short Track Series at St Ives (which are running on the Jan 14th, Feb 11th and Mar 11th).

Entries are available on the day down in the valley near the green loop (see map).

Entry is $10 and U15 kids are free. Each entry receives a $10 discount voucher valid with a $50 purchase at Pushys.com.au.

You will need an MTBA license to race and if you haven’t got one then a day license can be purchased on the day for $20. Note that the free 8 week trial MTBA membership is still happening. This will allow you to race for an 8 week period

Prizes

These will be cash prizes for A grade and gift vouchers for all other grades.

The amount of cash going to A grade will depend on how many people enter the series. The gift vouchers are being provided by PUSHYS and will be several $1000’s worth and will be divided up to place getters of all grades. Prizes will be given out each month and for the winners of the overall series.
