Thanks for the positive feedback!
331 riders turned out for a spectacular weekend of racing in near perfect conditions. It was amazing to see a huge crowd rolled up as well, the Mount Beauty locals really do get behind these events.
The track has held up extremely well considering the traffic!
We at Team Mount Beauty are always interested in any feedback, positive and/or negative, always looking to further improve rider and spectator experience at our events. Here's your opportunity to have your voice heard, it all gets taken on board and hopefully your next visit to the Big Hill Mountain Bike Park you'll notice the results of your valued input. Feel free to post any comments.
As I mentioned during presentations, about 100 volunteers gave up their time over the weekend to stage the event. Pat them on the back, tilt your hat and keep them coming back in the future.
It may be worth mention that the local basketball club, who ran the barbie on Sunday, made enough cash to buy new kit for the entire club. Thanks for supporting these community groups, its nice to know that your dosh is going somewhere and really enhancing our small community here.
On a personal level, as owner of the Mount Beauty Holiday Centre, I want to thank all of our guests for the outstanding attitude towards and acceptance of the few 'changes' we made during your stay. The general demeanor of the crowd has to be applauded, not a single problem from us as hosts. Many thanks! This has been the consensus across the board from all accommodation houses, business and locals I've heard from so far. You WILL be welcomed back with open arms in the future. Well done, keep up the good work!
Many, many, many thanks to the other clubs, the 'usual suspects' who work tirelessly and arrive with various expertise and efficiency. You guys are AWESOME. This is the best series in the country, you are the reason for it!
Again, thanks from Team Mount Beauty. 2014 marks the anniversary of 20 years of downhill racing in town. We're planning something special to mark this occasion, keep your eyes peeled!
Regards,
Mat Gardiner,
Team Mount Beauty.
