Port to Port MTB Stage Race - Entry giveaway here!
Entries now closed!
Win a complimentary ride entry into the 2017 Port to Port MTB race, May 25 - 28, valued at $440!
Port to Port MTB is one of the nation’s premium MTB stage races. A chance to experience some of the incredible tracks and trails we have in our backyard. OK - well, Newcastle's backyard, but it's not that far 
The kind folks at Port to Port MTB Stage Race have given us a complimentary entry into this year's event to do with as we please.
While they suggest this could be auctioned off or used personally by an admin fairy I thought a more appropriate use would be to simply offer this entry to the community in a lottery.
If you would like to take part in this lottery simply comment (once or more, but multiple comments will not increase your chance of winning) on this thread before midnight on Sunday 23 April 2017 (AEST). The winner will be chosen at random the following day to give them plenty of time to register. NB: public registrations close May 23 so if you don't win but will still like to enter there's plenty of chance to do so.
NB: This is a multi-day MTB stage race. Please be sure you are able to complete the course and are able to meet other logistical requirements (transport, accommodation, meals and other incidentals are NOT included) before entering.
See the attached Ts&Cs from the event organiser.
... and good luck!

Wow, first to comment and throw my hat in
Pick me pick me!!!
Rad prize, thanks for sharing!!
If I win, I promise to give it to person who comments next...
(because I volunteered for 4 days, I've got a free entry anyways).
Thanks in advance chrischris
Wow what a great prize for any mountain biker. Thanks
Might force me to train more!
+1 Thanks champ!
That's one way to ensure you get comments on a post!
I wouldn't begrudge the administrators of this fantastic community forum taking this awesome prize and enjoying the benefit for themselves!
... but I suspect it would take a petition with plenty of names on it to send it back to the admins now that they've put it on the table. Having said that, I'm in for the raffle if it's on!
Looks like a lot of fun. I'm even back to riding multiple days in a row so I may just survive the full number of stages... and live to write about it
I hope it doesn't sell out before I don't win the draw
It'd be great to save 440 buckaroos in entry fees!
Count me in for the draw, thanks!
I better start training just in case....
in for the draw
If I win this entry, I'll promise to come last in the event.
Well of course I would like one!
Pick me, pick me!
(If you want to see an idiot on an enduro bike in an XC race
)
...and if I don't win I am going anyway ! Fantastic Event !
sounds like a stupid idea, put my name down for an entry!
Sounds like a great race.
Sounds awesome! At least I don't need to think about the next event then
.
... so a free entry would definitely see me on the start line
Have enjoyed the coverage of this event to date and looks great.....would love to give it a go
Great odds here, I'll take time off work to ride this one
Youve gotta be in it to win it
Youve gotta be in it to win it
Can you stop twisting my arm behind my back.
Thank you.
Looks like an opportunity for a fund-raiser.
Personally I'm lukewarm on the prospect of the ride (looks like a pain fest to me), but I'll auction it off to the highest bidder with proceeds to a worthy charity. Something youth orientated I'm thinking.
Thanks.
Sounds like fun!
Please...
...but if I win, I will change that.
... I have to put my hand up too. Looks like a great event.
This is one race that has been in my bucket list for a long time.
Good luck everyone!
I just rode 145km on the road bike today and need to do more mountain biking...
