September 2
Hi,
the very small crew running Back Yamma are very tired after two great events, the Dubbo MTB crew are trying to step up to make sure back Yamma takes place, I sent off an email this morning seeking clarification on this.
Worst case, if Back Yamma is postponed for 2012 the Central West will remain a biking destination in early September with an enduro at the Geurie trail system. That event would either be an 8 or a 12 hour, camping would be at the local showground, or accom in either Wellington or Dubbo (both 20k away). The race would be held on some great smooth flowy singletrack on the edge of the village.
Geurie is a similar time from Sydney and Canberra, closer to Newcastle and points north, further from Wagga/Albury/Wollongong etc
So, keep the first weekend in September free for some great riding in the warm and sunny central west, riding in native cypress pine woodlands and we look forward to seeing you at either Parkes or Geurie on September 2!
Cheers!

Hey Rocket how are the trails holding up after all the rain? I'm really looking forward to this years event. You guys put on an awesome event - especially if it's anything like the GN 250 this year!
