Tathra MTB Enduro
Tathra Country Club, Tathra
If you’re tired of being marooned in bush try a cycling sea-change!
The Tathra MTB Enduro is a community driven MTB event that caters for the whole family. Along with single-track Tathra, has plenty of sun and surf to keep the cheer squad and ‘significant others’ happy. The best news is – the start line is a mere roll from your digs in Tathra!
In 2011, 250 riders lined up for our first race, and we raised over $25,000 for renewable energy projects in the Bega Shire.
Angry Doctor 100km first time - advice needed.
Well, I've been riding for a while, but not this far. I ride for fun at Awaba and Ourimbah, but this 100km event has me a little worried. 50km would be fun! 100km? Why did I bother listening to you Andrew..... So, any advice?
1- Is there overtaking/passing etiquette?
2 - Do I really need some vasoline?
3 - Dust mask?
4 - Extra equipment to carry besides chain lube, tyre puncture repair kit, etc ?
Enjoyed it a lot more this year
Given my memories of last year (severe cramps and taking a wrong turn / getting lost) I had a different plan this year which was to take it easy in the first 50kms and really try and enjoy the single track and the whole event. With the forecast being 30+ I spent the Saturday trying to drink a fair bit so that I would be well hyrdrated on the day.

"What the hell am I doing this for again?"
It all came back to me after 20 kays in... "Hang on, this is bloody terrible". There are plenty of excuses I could use for the way I was feeling, getting a flat, screwing up my food royally, running out of water, getting a virus the week before.. the bottom line is this is a mother of an event. I had just forgotten.
accommodation wanted for angry doctor.
after being in canberra for the weekend and seeing how cold it can be at night, martine and i have decided to try and get a room for the night prior to the doctor rather than camping. i know the south coast wont be as cold as our capital but we thought we'd put the word out just in case someone drops out and has already paid for accomodation.
if anyone IS camping, let us know where as i havn't got a clue where the closest place is to the start of the race.
cheers,

Awesome Hills!
CHANGED: Glenbrook Station Car Park
UPDATE:
I had a flashback this morning and realized that the car park at the park entrance is not open before 8am and some people seem to have difficulty to find it.
=> New meeting point: the usual Glenbrook Station Car Park.
Sorry for the late change! See you there.
