Get your bikes lubed, slap on the lycra and get ready to work off the festive season by throwing yourself into a lather of sweat in a summer short track series!
For the uninitiated this means going as hard as you can for about 15 minutes followed by lying on the ground and then enjoying a cool drink and BBQ as the sun sets over the valley.
Following on from the successful OMV Bike Festival, Hornsby Council have granted the OK to a short track series to be run from Jan to Mar 2015.

WSMTB 4hr @ Wylde trail recce
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.
Looking to familiarise myself with the circuit for next weekend's race, and get in a bit of training.
First lap will be at a moderate pace to see where everything is and maybe session anything tricky that we find, followed by a couple of hours of chasing each other round and round 
While I'm way off what I like to think of as my usual pace (which hasn't been so usual of late) this won't be such a social ride, I'll be looking to keep the speed up ... as much as I can. Hopefully that means some of you're going to be a bit (but not too much) faster than me and I'll be pushed to keep up.
