Willunga is Round 3 and is on the 10^th & 11^th May see map and race details, go to race calendar on left hand side of web page and once again much needs to be sorted. How about being a volunteer, what about free race entry for you, or a family member and $20 towards petrol? Have a vehicle with a tow bar and don’t need your tow bar for your bike/s? Then please call Chris on the Club Mobile 0419-790-122. Also we need Track Marshalls and Drivers for Transport and General, such as helping put the registration tent up and down, along with the starting and finishing marquee's along with setting up tables and chairs at all 3 locations, plus many other roles.

The race track as mentioned is a new track, the line will take the next ridge over from where we raced last year and finish opposite the car park near the bottom on the next ridge over. The transport will use the same road, so please no parking on the gravel road to the top, please park in the designated car park, sheep yards car park, turn right from the entrance road into the race area. This is all on PRIVATE PROPERTY so no pre riding or practicing of any sort can be performed.

For updates on race meetings, please go to Race Calendar to the left of your screen, see recent updates on Round 1 of the MTBA national Series, local events dates and times.

Another great race weekend away was had by all, with over 195 competitors racing off against each other.

 << SEE RACE RESULTS >> The racing was concluded by 2:50pm, now that would have to be a record and wasn’t it great not to be packing up in the dark, just the rain, oh well we can’t have everything. So a big thankyou to all those that helped, including all the new faces, parents and the usual crowd a big big thanks. Thanks to the committee for organising a great race away.

It does seem that the race track has more than lived up to its expectations offering techy sections, off cambers, rock gardens, log jumps, dust and then rain and the usual. A big thanks to the Under 19’s and Elite finalists for walking back up the track and collecting up the bunting, I hear at the top of the track it was a site to behold, for once the bunting was cleared within 20 minutes of the last rider, let’s keep up the team spirit of helping out.Congratulations to all competitors for making the travel arrangements and pinning it hard core down the hill and well done to those that made podium. Thanks to the Queenslanders for joining in and taking a few podium positions away and also to those Vic’s that came out.Some interesting events, Connor trying to do a ‘chainless’ run and heading over the handle bars at the start, Elliot for dropping in a sideways finish and cleaning up and breaking the finish reflector beam cover plate you better ask Liam how that’s done without cleaning up infrastructure, and we also learned to next time move the finish tent further away from the track so the ‘Elite’ riders stop throwing mud at the finish timers. We counted at least 6 riders finishing and a few that didn’t make it to the bottom due to flat tyres, sounds like those maxxis tyres will come in great use, though hard to win a new one on a flat. We had 2 flat tyres on the trailers as well, though the trailers held up well despite the long distance for turn-a-rounds, maybe that 4^th trailer can be organised now.

A note on upcoming events, Willunga is a heartbeat away, so polish up your bike and prepare to race again on a top track that is different to last years and is ready to race. Car park is in the same place as last year, not much difference between start and finish, just the bit in the middle.
