hey kids, get yourselves to the short track races. Was my first short race since about 1991 and although it was a shock to the system and my lungs i enjoyed it thoroughly. A great addition to all the long distance training iv'e been doing. A small but relaxed bunch. Ill be doing the whole series over the summer. Great fun! P.s. Think i came about second last in b grade!

Would like to do a few of these but the times look a little early for me to get there.

What would be the latest someone could turn up for B grade and get a start.

Gazza what time did B grade start?

We started bang on 6:20, latest should be 6:10, but if you let me know you are coming can probably let this go a bit later. I might be changing the time to a bit later and running A & B together

Am keen to get into this Short Track Race series but would be a short track race virgin,
Do we need to be a Memeber of a Mtn bike Club??? Am looking to join Manly Warringah??
Do we need a racing licence?? If so where can we get these?? Annual??

Any advice would be appreciated

I attended a race with Matt here once and you know what? at the end of the first lap nobody was waiting for me to regroup, the buggers just kept riding further and further away from me. A few mongrels even laped me.

Not very social I'll tell you!!!!

You turned up to the wrong event... the NoBMoB 'St Ives' social ride started at THills... Eye-wink

Pieboy - You are able to simply turn up and race but you will have to pay $15 for a day license (on top of the entry fee). Getting a license through any club is usually for 1 year (not sure if they have half year licenses) and you can obtain more info by simply visiting the club websites.

Here are a few local ones:
MWMTB - http://www.mwmtb.com/cms/index.php?page=Membership
TORC - http://pelotonsports.com.au/Public/AboutPelotonM...
WSMTB - http://www.wsmtb.com/membership.shtml
