Boxing Day MTB Ride - Mt Ovens \ Yetholme Forest
Boxing Day MTB ride, meeting at Winning Edge Cycles 2pm. Who's up for some awesome trails out at Mt Ovens \ Yetholme forest ? Anyone is welcome to come along but be warned it will not be a trundle through the sticks with cucumber sandwiches and a cup of tea my good chaps kinda ride. Bring your bike skills, some mountain goat legs and of course plenty of water\food if you need it.
On the plus side the ride ends with a big downhill section all the way back to the carpark.

Quick, quick, scramble, scramble, fingers poised - type.
YES Entries are now open for the April 21-22 2012 Tathra MTB Enduro. www.mountainbiking.com.au/tathraenduro
Our website probably won’t crash with the stampede of entrants. But it pays to get in early as we have limited numbers to 500 – to ensure the unique character of the event is maintained.
As our aim is PARTICIPATION before PROFIT – Entry prices have also not changed from last year!
WHAT’S THE TATHRA MTB ENDURO
Sweet, sweet single-track by the Sea!
If you’re tired of being marooned in bush try a cycling sea-change!
Last Mountain bike event for 2011
Hi there NobMob members
Just letting you know that the last mountain bike race for the year will be the Wicked Wombat 8hr Enduro, being held in Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains on New Years Eve.
This event is being held on a newly constructed private trail network that is not normally open to the public. The 19+km trail network contains a pump track, skills park, jumps line, pocket park and flow trail. It's located on a 300 acre property and is part of an outdoor education centre that has modern accommodation and dining facilities.

Capital Punishment
What's peoples thoughts on this one, is it any good as an event/race? 9km on the black stuff?
Thinking it might make for a good first 100km?
Who's planning on doing it next year?
Tre-x triathlon
Just. Completed the tre-x triathlon. Very well run event set on the banks of the hawkesbury river. I highly recommend having a go next year if you like a challenge.
2011 UCI Marathon World Championships
Looking at the results of this years Marathon World Championships
I am surprised to observe that this is no Australian representation in the race.
Surely we have athletes of the caliber to compete in such an event. The course being 115km and 2870m of climbing may have even suited some of our elite riders.
for those in the know, I would be interested in understanding why we do no have a team representing
Australia ? Is it a funding / sponsorship issue or some MTB politics ?

National XC Round at Awaba
Its been shared that Awaba and HMBA will be hosting the final round of the National XC and DH series. The weekend is 3/4th of March.
Its a long way off, but I would encourage everyone to get it in their calendar. Its great to have a round so close to Sydney, and so accesible. Its a chance for everyone to see (and cheer on) the best local athletes as they go against the best in Australia. Home track advantage is hugely important on such a tight track. There will be a bunch of NobMobbers racing and maybe one or two winning.
