Permits for the 2014 Club M.U.D. King of Ballarat race are finally in so we now have a RACE!

Coota & the crew at Club M.U.D. have been busy re-aligning, repairing & fine tuning the trails up at Black Hill during this summer in
preparation for this years event.

Dates for the 2014 King of Ballarat are as follows...

Round 1. Sunday June 29th Open Cut (with NEW stockade corner)

Round 2. Sunday July 27th Deep Lead (corners)

Round 3. Sunday August 31st Alluvial (rock garden)

As per usual, there will be unofficial FREE practice on the Saturday before each race from 10am after tracks have been bunted. Please be aware that there will be no first aid, marshals or support on Saturday, so take it easy. We also ask that you please respect our neighbors & keep speeds, noise,dust & mud to a minimum, for riders shuttling on Saturday, we request that you pick-up at the bridge crossing at the end of Newman Street. Parking only will be permitted in Whitefield Street, please use the space on the creek side only & do not block driveways etc. We have the full support & co-operation of the Ballarat city council so we really do not want to jeopardize this partnership.

We also have a major sponsor for 2014... Trialsbike.com.au
Trent & Cass were exceptionally generous to the club last year & this year the club decided that we would bring back KOB as a sponsored event & support local business.

We also have support from the City of Ballarat, Ballarat Regional Tourism & Track-X MTB
aparrel.

Will be spectating with glee (with my young lad). Tracks are looking fantastic, Guys.
Awesome work, Cass and Trent. Love the way you support the riding :thumb:

Pending my wife's shifts, I hope to be able to marshal or help out where I can after about noon at each event.

Better add in a steak sandwich too. The alcohol free vegan needs something to make him think straight!

Went down the B lines of open cut & deep lead this arvo. Should be right so long as it's not too wet. What's the chances of it being cold & wet in Ballarat?:horn:

Just drove past the shuttle van, pouring rain,.. They are indeed brave and dedicated.

They wont come home clean, as long as they just come home in one piece.

Arse-eyes was pushing everyone to ride this morn, whining about all the lame-arsed pikers who didn't want to go out in that shitty weather.
He showed up to the usual start and nobody else was there, who'da thunk it on such a fine day?
