Support your local club 2013
I was at my local club round HMBA - Hunter Mountain Bike Association on the weekend, and the club president was discussing the importance of club particapation to keep the clubs healthy and to provide support for the maintence and creation of local trails.
Given 'legal' trails are few an far between, it is important for us to support the ones we have, which are in most part built and maintained by our local clubs.
Spring Cycle - Not technically MTB but an adventure none the less
Spring Cycle is not technically MTB, in fact its not even close, but its an adventure none the less. It was a great day for the boy and I and his mate and his dad.
Riding over the bridge and cutting loose over the Cahill Expressway was AWESOME.
Sneaky practic runs on Pony Xpress
Anyone trying to sneak in practice runs next weekend please be aware Pony Club have a 2 day jump comp on.
As per the details here we're not suppose to ride the track while they have events on but they understand people are keen and they are pretty accommodating
So if we can just follow some basic rules and keep them happy it makes my life so much easier. They just ask riders to take helmets off and walk past the horse area (from where it opens out till past the bottom arena, it's about 200-300 meters)
geurie xc race
Hey does any body know if the 3 hr at geurie is still on tomorrow
Cheers lincoln
Port Macquaire Mountain Festival CANCELLED
Black Heart events cancels another event. Heard the reason is more lame, than when they cancelled the Bottlebutt the first time. This was a 2 day big event, weathers good, how can it just not happen. Poor attendance?, someone doesn't make money?. Even the council was behind this one.

Hey everyone test the best is next weekend and im wondering who's going? First time going for me and im wondering if i take my bike (pointless i no) is there any secure place i can keep it?
Cheers everyone and have a good long weekend!
