Intrwinter Round 3 - the GMBC 2 stage race at the You Yangs!!!! Yes - the Youies!
Get on board for what is the first XC race back at the Youies, it's going to be awesome!
The ITT will begin at 10:30
XCO will be shortly after the last riders have finished the ITT
XCC will be shortly after that!
It's a great day out racing, your legs wont let you forget it, but you need to be in it to win it!
The trails have changed a lot since we ran this event last year, and only got better, I can't wait and I'm not even racing!
Cheers,

Despite holding a You Yangs MTB Club membership since 2009 this will be my first time at the Youies. Very, very excited. 
Is the ITT and XCO course going to be tight'n'twisty or open and flowing. I've both a 26er and a 29er at my disposal and I love riding both, but I'd like to bring the best bike for the course and conditions.
Thanks in advance for any help, J

That'd be awesome. Cheers, JI will be out there setting the track tomorrow, and will hopefully get a few laps on my HT 29r, so will let you know how it goes!

No one cares what you ride. Just come along. One thing is guaranteed. You will have a fantastic time.
The weather is looking great. The trails are perfect with this amount of rain and then sun. Mr Winter can now sit down and shut the hell up for nine months.
First race back at the Youees. Oh yeah!

Turns out being a marshal isn't actually that bad!! In fact, its a lot easier than riding!
Maybe I'll give racing the flick more often and wait at the top of the hills with my cowbell. Hahaha
Congrats the to organizers, looked like a fun race. Today was my first insight into Youies trails, and I'll be back, I'll just have to practice my 'rock riding' skills

Was that you mate? That bell was how I knew that the pain of the climb was over and that the fun starts. Thanks for doing a great job!:clap2:
Many thanks to GMBC, great fun and a nice initiation to the Youies for me. I'll be back for sure, but tonight I'll be having granite boulders in my dreams.
There were mixed opinions about the bell. I got told where to shove it a few times :biggrin: But if i marshal again, I'll defiantly have my bell to let you know your almost there

Unfortunately, as discussed with a few other riders today, not everyone was as well behaved on course - there most certainly are a few characters that are not the types we want in this sport starting to appear as it grows slowly. This was particularly noticed with attitudes at the tail end of the B grade field.
