CTMBC DH
Hi Guys
I was hoping to get into DH this year, is CTMBC going to run a monthly club event again this year?
Cheers
Signed up for the Punishment
Thanks to those who offered advice and encouragement about signing up for my first 100km event - I've now committed to the CP100!
Can anyone offer any advice on nutrition? I've never really gone far beyond stuffing an energy bar into my jersey pocket before heading out for a reasonable ride. What would you recommend for a 100km race - bars/gels and how frequent?
2014 Absa Cape Epic - The Journey Begins
2014 Absa Cape Epic - The Journey Begins
See below the first stanza of the SXC Racing blog. We are hoping to give some insight into our training and preparation leading up to the 2014 Absa Cape Epic, followed by day by day updates from the race itself.
I hope you can share in our experiences, and join us on the journey.
Should I punish myself?!
I'm looking for a 2014 challenge and was thinking about entering another race - possibly Capital Punishment. I haven't done a lot of racing before - in fact, only 2 attempts at the Wollombi Wild Ride. To give you an idea of my level, I did the 60km race last year and completed in 3:30, although work commitments meant I didn't get much bike time in the run up to it (excuses, excuses)
Next years marathon race dates
While planning what events I'm going to enter next year, I found it easier to make a list of all the NSW and ACT races in date order. I thought I'd post them up here to help others.
Marathonmtb also has a list of all the races but their list also includes races across the world so hopefully this list is a little simpler.
If I've missed any, let me know and I'll edit this post.

MTBa takes back control of the National Series
MTBA Takes Control of 2014 National Mountain Bike Series
Mountain Bike Australia announced today that the 2014 National Mountain Bike Series will be brought back under MTBA control and delivery. The recent re-structure of Cycling Australia’s (CA) Commercial and Events team means that the arrangement under which CA delivered the previous National Series is no longer a financially viable option.
Convict and Capital Punishment Entries Open
For those that aren't aware, just letting everyone know that Capital Punishment entries (March 15th) opened several days ago and Convict 100 (May 3rd) entries open tomorrow... so take the big step and make up your mind whether to do these great rides. The calendar is a bit hard to find on the site, but mark your attendance to represent the NoBMoB crowd here:
where you can also find a link to their respective websites.
The Maverick Series - 2014

WSMTB race tomorrow is cancelled
For anyone who was heading out to Yarramundi for the WSMTB race tomorrow, it's been cancelled due to rain/potential for rain. Details on the club's facebook page.
Cheers.
Mont 24 Hour Race 2014
Entries are now open for the 2014 running of the Mont 24 Hour Race.
The MONT is a classic weekend of mountain biking and the largest event of its type in Australia. It is a must-do event for first timers and hard core mountain bikers alike. We invite you to enter a team of four or six riders and experience one of Canberra’s most popular ride locations. While there’s plenty of racing to be had, the MONT is also a pretty laid back event, so if you don’t take your performances too seriously, rest assured you won’t be alone. Here's what you can expect.
