judging by the normal calendar, the 8th May is mother's day. Put it on that day, and you won't even know how many whole-series contenders you lose...

New Date Announced!
Dear All
Many thanks for your patience while we’ve been working hard to find a suitable date to reschedule Round 1 of the SRAM Singletrack Mind Series.
After discussions with all parties involved and other users of the Awaba Mountainbike Park, we have opted for Sunday 27 November as the date for this rescheduled event.
“But that’s the traditional weekend of the Wannaride Spring Fat Tyre Festival" we hear you collectively say! ...and you would be correct, but coincidentally our good friend Chris Wilson from Wannaride has decided to hang up his events hat while he follows his very worthy new path of studying land conservation (tree huggin!) and has handed the baton of this great event to us! We intend to keep the great vibe that has made the Spring Fat Tyre Festival a highlight of the MTB calendar. So, we are very pleased to announce that Round 1 of the SRAM Singletrack Mind Series will become 'Round 8.25', in honour of the Spring Fat Tyre Festival, and by virtue of the new date will also be the Series Finale.
Thanks again for your support of our decision to postpone Round 1 and we look forward to seeing you all at Awaba in November, if not before!
Cheers
Fi & Joe

Round 2 - this weekend!
Just a quick reminder that Round 2 at Coondoo Rd Nowra is on this weekend May 29! You have exactly 4 hours to enter until you cop a little late fee but you can enter up until midnight Wednesday night, so get cracking!

Here's the course: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/86203826

Didn't do last years. Is it going clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Have entries to the cancelled round been transferred over automatically?
Fi

Entries belong with the event, i.e. the cancelled round which has been rescheduled, and cannot be refunded or transferred to a different event - so if you entered Round 1 you are now entered for Round 8 1/4 on 27 November. If you wish to race at Round 2 you will need to enter that separately.

I'm starting with 33x20 on the 29er, and will switch to 33x19 if I'm feeling unusually powerful.
Just checked out the Nowra forecast to find it's been deteriorating. I think. I'm having a little trouble reconciling 90% chance of 10-20mm of rain with "Possible Showers". Perhaps they mean possible showers between rain squalls? At least there's no chance of a frost...

Meh, yesterday's forecast from BOM/Weatherzone was for showers and we didn't see a drop here in Nowra. Forecast is for a clearing shower this morning and it's bone dry outside. Here's another contradictory forecast: http://www.weather.com.au/nsw/nowra. So who knows?!
Our best guess is there might be a light shower or two on Sunday but as the track is so dry at the moment, plus we're not using any sections prone to bogginess, we think it'll be all good.

If you're changing gears you may as well go all the way to 27
