Singletrack Mind Series Round 1
Wylde MTB Car park and Trail head is just off Elizabeth drive located next to the Sydney International (Cecil Park) Shooting Centre. The turn off can be found on the left 3km Due west from the M7 Motorway or on the right 600m Due East from Mamre Road.
The Singletrack Mind Series features three mountain bike endurance events of 7 and 4 hours duration. They will take you to three different locations in NSW, each one renowned for its flowing dingletrack and fun factor.
The newly built Wylde MTB Park is the most highly anticipated MTB facility in Sydney and located near the MTB course for the 2000 Olympics. We’re really stoked about kicking off the series here for 3 reasons: it’s a great track, we’ll be hosting the first major event for the track and it’s also part of the Evocities Series. Boom!
1st place BMORC, Welby 7hr
Round 4 of the SRAM Singletrack mind series was held at Welby in the Southern Highlands.
Having raced at Welby last year, I knew what I was in for; not huge amounts of climbing but technical pinchy climbs that really sap the legs. Getting flow and holding momentum is really hard at Welby. In saying that, it is a really fun track to ride around - perfect place for a social ride to take on your mates.
On Saturday afternoon Craig and myself headed out for a couple of recce laps. The course was dry, dusty and loose. It was fun to ride around but would prove to be a tough racetrack.
Wurld Championships Short Course
St Ives Showgrounds, Mini Bike track
Elbows out racing is coming to St Ives Mini Bike Track. Racing is short (20 - 30 minutes per race), Fun with berms, bumps and singletrack and painful. 3 races per category on the day (Novice only 2).
We have the coffee van and Mexican food vans on hand to keep the pace high all day. Novice category (non MTBA licence holders) only pay $10 dollars entry and $20 day license.
Aim of event is to make XC fun, sociable and approachable to those looking to "dip a toe" into the race scene without crashing for a 50 or 100km event ( look at Brownie Points Burner is you want that one).
Brownie Points Burner XCM Taree
Clarendon Forest Retreat, Possum Brush Road, Taree. will host the event with onsite camping and accommodation options - www.cfr.com.au
Is 25mins drive from Forster and Old Bar for more family orientated accommodation.
In 2013, the Brownie Points Burner will be raced on Sunday the 25th of August. Yes we tried a 2 day event there previously and its bombed, but so do the trails. Evil climbs and epic descents plus the much mentioned Taree Tip Riders Trails.
We hope you've been saving your brownie points lately, because this is one marathon race you don't want to miss.
SRAM Singletrack Mind Series Round 1
Next to the tip entrance (grassed area) on The Bucketts Way (between Tinonee and Purfleet).
The SRAM Singletrack Mind Series features five mountain bike endurance events, of 7 or 8 hours duration. They will take you to five different locations in NSW, each one renowned for its flowing singletrack and fun factor.
The Series will kick off in fine style at a new venue for 2013, Kiwarrack State Forest in Taree! The Manning Great Lake Tip Riders MTB Club (crikey, that's a mouthful!) can't wait to welcome us to their highly-acclaimed singletrack on the weekend of 27 & 28 April. Get your leave pass booked pronto, this is a venue not to be missed!
One Hot Day
Mixed Doubles.
I had originally planned to enter this event as my first solo event, and crack 100km with some breaks in between laps. But due to some other events (including the weather forecast) I entered the Tuesday beforehand with a friend from work.
