Rocky Trail's SHIMANO MTB Grand Prix Series 2011
Hi guys,
After a big series finale at Mt Stromlo we have some very exciting news regarding the 2011 series: as you can see in the title SHIMANO is on board as principal sponsor which means that you can expect even more great gear to be tested and scored next season.
The first round will be the first race ever at the new tracks at Mt Annan Botanic Garden. We have been working together with them for over one and a half years now and helped push the trail-build along and are now very proud to be the first race there. It will be in conjunction with the Banzai Lifecycle MTB Fitness Series, which is aimed at first timers and riders who want to get in shape but not race.
The date for round 1 is March 26 and registration for it is open already.
All the info about the series is here:

We again have 4 rounds and all of them will have the 4 hour as well as 8 hour option. Solo to teams of 3. Prices remain the same as in 2010.
Looking forward to a great series!
Martin

Can't wait!!!
All dates are marked in my new calender.
race at mount Annan sounds allright , might get a team of 3 together and do 8 hour. would be a Good lead up for the mont.
Considering going Solo for this in March, waiting on confirmation of dates of work stuff though
I might be interested but will need to check the calendar.
@Logan. By this time your base training should be done so you should go a team where you just smash yourself for a lap, recover, smash yourself again and so on.

Did some trailwork yesterday out at Dargle - the track is in great shape thanks to the help of Ashfield Cycles, Deubel Bicycles, WSMTB as well as Russ!
Same track as the last 12 hour but with a few extra pinches to go around fallen trees.
2 weeks to go!
Get your last minute entries sorted for this weekend's racing! Great lineup of prizes from JetBlack, Bernard Beer and Shimano, Red Bull will rock Dargle again, track is in great shape and we look forward to an epic 12 hour and MTB GP! Winners will receive a Bernard/Rocky Trail Champion beer mug.
Registration is open until Wednesday 9pm.
One more thing: by signing up the the MTB GP Round 3 this weekend you will score a free entry to the Stromlo round of the Banzai LifeCycle Time Trial worth $60.
Would you like to win a free stay at the Crowne Plaza Canberra during the final round of the Shimano MTB GP? You can score it by heading over to our facebook site and guessing the difference in total km ridden by all racers between our first ever MTB GP at Yellomundee in 2008 compared to the first Shimano MTB GP this year at Mt Annan. The first one to guess the correct number gets it or whoever is closest by 10pm tonight.
