Appin XC track maintenance

When: 
Saturday, 21 January, 2012 - 08:00
Ride Database Entry: 
Appin
Meeting Point: 

North end of Burke St, Appin. There's a small parking area here at the trail head.

Note that the map shows Market Street connecting Appin Rd to this location but that is actually a firetrail and will not work for drivers who should take King St (next block South) and enter from there.

-34.200985,150.792578 (North end of Burke St, Appin)

Bring your own tools if possible. I'll try to ge some from WMBC as well. We'll probably start just by walking around the track and tidying up the drainage. Don't forget sunscreen and plenty of water.

National Series #3 - Stromlo

When:

Ride Database Entry: 
Stromlo Forest Park
Meeting Point: 

Uriarra Road, just up from the Uriarra Road/Coppins Crossing Road turnoff.

-35.314211 149.027521 (Uriarra Road)

Round 3 of the National XC Series is held at Stromlo. I figured its close enough for the Nobmobbers to be interested.

Racaing XC at Stromlo is something else. Sure - riding all the trails in a 24, or at the end of Capital Punishment is good, but imagine hitting the Luge track full gas with fresh legs.....
The XC at National level is not to be feared, just enjoyed. We all spend so much on bikes, kit etc - why not ride with the best in the country - in your own age group?

National Series #4 - Awaba

Meeting Point: 

Just up Jenkins Road from corner with Mount Faulk Road.

This is final round of the 2011/12 National XC Series.
Its the first time it will be held at Awaba, and I really want to try and encourage as many of you as possible to give it a crack.

We dont have a proper state series (yet.....) so some might worry that there is a big jump from club level racing up to National level racing.
Far from it.
At National level racing there are age-groups. Its not just A / B / C / D grade. So you can be sure you will be racing people of a similar vintage. That means the track will be clearer for you.

The laps will have a break between them but looking at doing the red loop in low 40's at a consistent pace.
