Finals Times

April 5 & 6 2008

One of the 'homes of mountain-biking' in Australia, we're off to CORC to start the NSWMTB State Series for 2008, and Downhill Round 1 it is.

Saturday will be a full day of practice, with plenty of buses to lift loads of people up and down the hill.

Sunday will follow the national series format, practice in the early morning followed by racing. Exact times are published in the tables below.

The Full Details: Round 1 - Canberra - April 5 & 6

 

Before the Race

  
  Race Location   Canberra Off-Road Cyclists Club, Stromlo Course at Mount Stromlo (approx 3hr from Homebush). Nearest town is Weston, Cooleman Court shops are 5 mins away. Event is 10 mins from the centre of Canberra.  
  Entries   See yellow & purple paragraph above.  
  Late Entries   Entries are open online until Friday 4pm prior to the race. PLEASE enter online ASAP.

In 2008, late fees are being changed to encourage early entries - the sooner we know how many people are coming, the better we can plan for a great event! That said, for race 1, given entries are being opened late, we're going to keep it to a small late fee on the weekend only.

  • A $10 per rider late fee will apply on the weekend of the event.
  
  What you will need  
  • A bike, an approved helmet.
  • If you are under 18, you will need a someone to sign the declaration on race weekend.
  • If you are a member of MTBA, Australia's fantastic national body for mountain biking, you will be required to bring and present your MTBA membership card to avoid paying $15 for a day licence. If you're not a member, why not head to the MTBA Website and find out all about them, as well as locate your local bike club and find out how to join!
