James Williamson Enduro Challenge 2016
Just past the village store on Railway parade, turn left onto Forest road. Follow this for 4km until you reach the clearing with trailhead map, toilet and concrete slab.
Welcome to the sixth James Williamson Enduro Challenge, to be held on Sunday February 21st 2016.
2016 AMB 100
Uriarra Road, just up from the Uriarra Road/Coppins Crossing Road turnoff.
Surprised this is not on the calendar.
Anyone planning on doing this ride? I'll hopefully be there to kick off the racing year with the 5 lap option. Will be keeping an eye on the weather though, still scarred from the high 30's of a few years ago.
I will probably camp and can offer a lift (sharing petrol) to someone leaving Saturday evening. If you want a lift back though you'll need to be patient....

OMV Short Track Series Round 1 (Rescheduled)
End of Quarry Road, Hornsby - Parking is well signposted, directing cars to park at the END of the road. If this is full, park in the Dural Street carpark.
"Well, we are awaiting confirmation on this. But it looks like the NorthConnex control of the Hornsby MTB trails has been delayed enough to allow us to host one more Short Track Summer Series.
We will be running them in tandem with the keepers of the spiritual origins of mtb racing in Northern Sydney - Manly Warringah CC. We each host one race per month, a fortnight apart. So this will mean about 6 or 7 delicious sweat pouring, gut wrenching, bike braking, leg burning and even vomit inducing pain sessions. Ah,,, not everyone's cup of tea but we love it!
