MTB skills trip to Canada
Every couple of years my coach organises a trip to Canada for XC riders who want to improve their technical skills. The idea is to ride DH bikes (can hire or buy over there) for a few weeks, travelling around to the main mtb/ski parks in Canada - Whistler, Sun Peaks, Panorama, Kicking Horse and Silver Star. This year there will also be some XC/AM riding thrown in to break up the DH riding. The trip will be from July 26th - 17th August, and we need another 4 people. So if you are keen, send me a message.
Cheers.
So how much could Mountain Biking be worth to Australia?
Just caught this about my home town . . . .
Thought I would share
And wonder . . . . . how much could the sport be worth here?

The economic value of mountainbiking in Rotorua's Whakarewarewa Forest has been estimated at five times its annual timber revenue and looks set to increase as promotions raise awareness of what is on offer.
[Mod. moved to Australia as it's a lesson for the whole country!]
New Zealand
I have a week off in April. I want to go to New Zealand to have a look at their legendary trails.
So for the lucky ones that have been there:
Rotorua or Queenstown?
Take my own bike (Stumpy) or hire one there?
What is the weather like in April?
Cheers,
Cyril

Wondering if anyone would have any tips regarding where to stay for the event.

Buy a bike for Christmas
Why buy gifts that will be burried in the garage or closet and rarely get used. Put that cash to better use and buy a bike.
Get into gear with this great gift, because everyone loves a bike. UNICEF has found that in some parts of the world a bike is one of the most important modes of transport for villages.
It is particularly helpful for health workers to reach vulnerable children in remote communities. It is often used to transport other Inspired Gifts like the vaccine carrier.
IMB issue 14 now out
I'm always surprised by the amount of content they deliver, for free.
Logging into the MTBA website.
Does anyone else have problems logging into the MTBA website? I seem to have half a dozen membership numbers and even when I try to log in with a new password that they have emailed me it still comes up with an error message. It seems to be a real mess.
I was trying to join a club online but it seems you have to go through the horrible MTBA site to do so. When I signed up for the 12 Hour event there were similar issues.
Opinions or fixes anyone?
