2015 Club M.U.D. King of Ballarat
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 & Autumn in
preparation for this years event, due to The Black Hill MTB park development there have been no major changes or additions to the tracks, Big changes are likely to occur in late 2015/early 2016 so as not to disrupt the KOB series.
To mix it up a bit this year, we are not releasing which track will be raced until it has been bunted (friday before race). This allows us to select the track depending on conditions, it also means that there will be more competitive racing as track/s will not be practiced weeks in advance...
Dates for the 2015 King of Ballarat are as follows...
Round 1. Sunday June 28th
Round 2. Sunday July 26th
Round 3. Sunday August 30th
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 cnr Queen & Morres St's. 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.
Major sponsor for 2015 will once again be... Trialsbike.com.au, there will also be a new co-sponsor/supporter secured with the help of Trent & Cass at Trialsbike.com to be announced...
We also have support from the City of Ballarat, Ballarat Regional Tourism.
