From memory, the Barjarg landowner started to want too big a cut.Word is he is not doing any more MTB events. It has been too stressful and hasn't paid off. He is doing much better working a full time job and looking after his growing family.
Would love if another operator revived the Barjarg ride weekends....
Yeah, same. Particularly for Felix. I can't teach him. He surpassed me at age 8.Dislike, I always meant to travel down for one of his coaching days.
Ben used to live across the road from me in Hurstbridge. I started MTB in 2010 (at the age of 39)--he was great teaching me some basic descending skills, and an all-around good fella.I did a one on one with him about a year ago. He is an amazing natural teacher and all round good bloke.
I was toying with the idea of another session with him to update a few skills.
Real shame he’s left the scene but the work load and traveling must have been massive and taken a real toll on a young family.
Official word through VES sources is that the Series is still very much on the cards for next year, so I guess we just have to see how it pans out in the longer run.On a similar note, the Victorian Endurance Series won't be run by Rohan next year and could suffer the same fate.
For curiosities sake, can you elaborate? Happy for you to do it via PM if you think its better.The season's pass debacle
