NSW Enduro Series - Singletrack Mind - Round 1
From Lithgow head on the Western Highway toward Bathurst. After 10-11Km you will head uphill and see thick pine forest to the right. It's dual carriageway here, and there's a right turn across the other lane into Forest Ridge Drive (signposted and a sealed road). About 50m on the left there's a turning where you can park in the shade. There's also an old concrete section of the highway just past there with masses of parking.
Singletrack obsessives rejoice! The team from Chocolate Foot are proud to announce the launch of the premier endurance race series for New South Wales: The Singletrack Mind - 2010 NSW Enduro Series.
From April 2010 mountain bikers are set to test themselves and their team mates in a series of five events ranging in length from 6 hours to the series finale, a 10 hour challenge! Also at the conclusion of the series to celebrate all the hard work and relive the great times of almost 40 hours of mud, sweat and gears, the village of Appin is ready to party! Dine, drink and dance, complete with live entertainment!
While Chocolate Foot is a new business, its principals bring a vast knowledge of mountain biking and event management to ensure the polished and professional running of the series. Fiona Dick has been behind the successful running of events such as the Highland Fling and the Mountains to Beach stage race. She is also well known as a racer, MTB skills educator and has written for the major mountain bike magazines.
Joe Ward is Australia's most prolific cycling TV show producer, having covered the past seven Australian Mountain Bike Championships, the recent World Mountain Bike Championships in Canberra as well as being part of the SBS TV crew at the Tour de France. With extensive multimedia coverage of each event, the series is set to raise the profile of
MTB endurance racing and give the general public an insight into the challenge and exhilaration of mountain biking. Both Fiona and Joe have been wearing the knobs off tyres for a combined period of over 25 years. In that time they've seen what makes for a great event and now they are set to make great events a reality.
Each venue in the series has been selected for its sweet flowing singletrack and ability to host everything that makes for a great event. The series kicks off on 18 April in western NSW's singletrack oasis, Lidsdale State Forest near Lithgow. Well worth the drive, the deceptively challenging Lidsdale track will serve up 8 hours of singletrack joy for those seeking the
enduro fix!
The schedule for the 2010 Singletrack Mind Series is as follows:
18 April – Lidsdale State Forest, Lithgow
16 May – Coondoo Road, Nowra
13 June – Yellomundee Regional Park, Yarramundi
29 August – Stromlo Forest Park, Canberra
25 September – WMBC track, Appin
Chocolate Foot are looking forward to announcing more exciting developments with the
Singletrack Mind Series soon – keep an eye on www.chocolatefoot.com.au/singletrack-mindseries

2 weeks before the dirtworks, good preparation. Tentative for now, it's a busy year of racing.
But since I've not raced Lidsdale it is very tempting.
Would certainly be interested in Masters pairs or threes.

Hmmm with solo entries at $75.00 and taking into consideration there is no solo masters category I will only be interested in 1 or 2 of these races now I think.
Note to the organisers if you had a solo masters category I would do the whole series at $75.00 a pop no problem.
entries are open http://www.chocolatefoot.com.au/singletrack-mind...

With healthy entries from the older model "diesels" out there, we decided to add solo masters men and womens categories to the series! You just need to be 40 or more finely aged (i.e. older!).
Cheers

Tracks looking good guys. Possibly my fav Lidsdale configuration to date...
pairs Steve as me and my brother are going to do rnd 2 & I don't want to be racing against you as u will kick my butte
i'll now be entering the events that dont clash with my club rounds and i know a few of my oldie counterparts will also be swayed by the decision. Cant wait for the pain!
you'd think with the inter club point score up for grabs clubs would give their members club points for attending.
We do
Hey Gazza,
Are you doing it solo?
I'm tempted too, but it's a big day out, camping overnight etc.
Could be tempted to do a masters pairs....
But then solo is perfect training for the Dirtworks, decisions decisions
Hi all,
As you'd be aware, race entries closed on Wed night but since then we've had a fair few people contact us with sob stories how they forgot or couldn't quite manage to enter. So we've decided to accept on the day entries BUT you'll have to give us a great sob story, the more entertaining the better and we're going to have a competition at race presentation for the best story for which you could win a nice little prize! We don't want to reward slackness but some of these stories need to be shared, pure gold!
Great day from my end hope you all had a good time too
