Canberra, Test Bunny Trip with mtnbike. Help me loose my virginity
St Ives Patterson's Patisserie 237 Mona Vale Rd St Ives - there is a car park over the road where you can easily leave your car for the weekend.
I'm doing a test run!
Sydney based riders who want to head to Canberra on fully managed mtnbike trips. Here is your opportunity. Things are still coming together and this is why I’m calling on NoBmoB'ers to come down on a test run.
The date is Saturday/Sunday June 27 and 28. There are another two meeting points on the way South 1) North Sydney Bike Bug Depart 7:00am (120 Pacific Hwy North Sydney) 2) Campbelltown The Push Bike Factory Depart 7:45am (11 Mill Rd Campbelltown)
Mont 24 Hr Wrap-up
Hi guys.
This is just a quick word of thanks to those who came down for our little romp amongst the pines last weekend. We've had a lot of email, SMS and phone calls over the last week and it seems you all had a pretty nice time. Thanks to those who responded by the way, it means a lot to us. Thanks also to the nice folks who came up at the end of the race to say how much they liked the event. It's a big job running a Mont, but it is all worthwhile when there's smiles all round.

Sparrow Rocks Robin
As others have already said this race completely rocked!
Gazza, Martine & I arrived to talcum powder dust on the roads and drove around in circles for a while before locating camp NoBMoB. It was a nice evening at this point and setup camp quickly. Annoyed to have left a cool bag at home (downstairs in the carpark - a bit stinky upon return on Sunday) sat down to other snacks for dinner and placed a shopping order with the incoming Buck & Gary (thanks for obliging guys).
New enduro event - Capital Punishment
Just received this media release from some mates. Sounds fun!
Craving Capital Punishment?
5 January 2009
By now, all mountain bikers in the country would have heard of - or ridden for the lucky ones - Mt Stromlo, host of the 2008 UCI World Cup and the 2009 UCI World Championships! Chances are Majura Pines also rings a bell as the headquarters for the Mont 24Hour MTB event. Finally, Canberrean riders at least would know of these other local gems that are Sparrow Hill and Bruce Ridge...
Mont 24 Hour Race 2009
Coming from Sydney, drive into Queenbeyan, turn left at the roundabout where Red Rooster is and stay on this road for about 11km. Park on the side of the road where the gate is. For better directions try this link CORC: Events: Race Venues.
Ride the Bird in 2009!
Hey! Welcome to the MONT 24 Hour Race, a classic weekend of mountain biking with mates and is a must-do event for first timers and hardened mountain bikers alike.
We invite you to enter a team of four, six or more riders and fly around Sparrow's flowing single track with huge grins on your faces. While there’s plenty of ‘racing’ to be had, the MONT also enjoys a pretty laid-back atmosphere and our dedicated event management team and fantastic sponsors are there to see you have a good time, on or off the track.
Sparrow Hill Rawks & Majura is Fun

Seems like the 2009 Mont will be in 4-5 April at Sparrow Hill. This should be fun. I quite enjoyed Sparrow. Very fast flowing singletrack.
Liam's torn sidewall
Liam's torn sidewall in a techy rock section at Sparrow Hill. And boy did it go off with a bang. Sam and I were at least 50m away when we heard it.
