THE NEXT HMBA CLUB RACES
DATE: Saturday and Sunday – 13th and 14th September
EVENT: Saturday will be a Super D event. Sunday will be a 3 hour XC event.
TIME: Saturday – Registration from 10am. Race to start at 1pm
Sunday - Registration 8:30 -9:30am. Race to start at 10am.
LOCATION: Dungog Common. Head to the end of Common Road and turn left through the gate. The event centre will be up the hill to your left.
COME AND CAMP OVER ON SATURDAY NIGHT!
FREE SAUSAGE SIZZLE WILL BE PROVIDED AFTER THE 3 HOUR RACE ON SUNDAY.
RACE FORMAT: Super D – Two separate tracks will be set, approx 2km in length each. Riders will get themselves to the start of each course (i.e. No Shuttles!) and do a timed solo run down each track. The best combined time will be designated the winner. Practice will start at 10am, and riders can do as many practice runs as they wish. The race will start at 1pm
RACE FORMAT: Three hour enduro. You can do this as a solo, or in a team of two, relay style. (Note – To race solo, you must be 15 years or older.) Each lap is approx. 9 km in length – complete as many laps as you can within the time limit as long as you start your last lap before the time limit runs out. Note that you only have to complete one lap to be considered a finisher.
JUNIORS: To cater for younger riders, we will also be running a 1.5 hour race for riders 15 years and younger. This will start at the same time as the main event, and use the same track as the main event but will finish after 1.5 hours.
GRADES: Race in your normal club race grade for Solo. For teams of two, there will only the one grade, and one grade for Juniors.
PRE-REGISTRATION: If you think you will be there for the race, drop us an email to hmbaxc@gmail.com with your name, grade you want to race in, and your MTBA number and I will put you in the computer for the race. This makes it easier for us on race day, and also quicker for you. When you get there on Sunday, you can jump the queue, cross you name off the pre-registered list, pay your money and you are ready to go. If something changes and you can’t make it there on race day, then it’s not a problem.
VOLUNTEERS: If you can help out on the day with timekeeping, it would be most appreciated.
VISITORS: Anyone is welcome at any HMBA club event. This is a great track to introduce new people to mountain bike racing, including kids, so feel free to bring along new people.
COST: For anyone with an MTBA licence, the cost is $10 for adults, $5 for juniors for Saturday, and the same again for Sunday. For anyone without an MTBA licence, you will also need to purchase a day licence for $20 or sign up for a free trial membership.
