MTB is Saturday and the Run is SundayAre the runs & MTB race both on Sunday?
That could be a spanner in the works as I want to run and he wants to ride, and we have our 6 yo to care for.. :|
absolutely agree regarding clashes but we are talikjing Spring in Victoria: after the footy, before the horses, avoid the weddings and marathons, remember the melbourne warrnambool race for the roadies. Consider fire danger in the bush, make sure the tracks have dried out post winter..........I've been holding back posting in this thread, but really this makes me sad !
I grew up in Ballarat, and still often ride the trails between Ballarat to Crewswick and beyond when visiting my folks out that way. It's fantastic to see more interest and more events etc... but being the same weekend as the surf coast (which I committed to ages ago) will hurt numbers, and so will stuffing around with the details until the last min... I just worry that organisers and more importantly parks, and other community groups will take a poor turnout to be a negative sign about the value of supporting MTB in their area.
Ok we are all systems go
Our apologies for the time delays but bureaucrats in government and big banks have been a major issue behind this.
We didn't wish to launch the web site or enable registrations until these issues had been resolved.
Sadly the bank has not stepped up to the mark so for now payment is by Direct Debit only.
So from those of us non riders/runners who are putting on this event all we ask is to support us.
For those who are already registered elsewhere for that weekend then best get sorted for 2012, as we have bigger and better things in store. :biggrin:
So you can visit www.thebrackenbury.com.au and register.
Note: yerg when you are given something in confidence keep it that way!
Cyclocross Saga Registration is included in the Mountain Bike Epic - So 2 for one
If you choose to ride just the Cyclocross Saga then you register for that and pay the $10 then you are in.
If you aren't an MBTA member then you register using The Brackenbury Mountain Bike Epic - Non Club Members
The Road Race is an Invitation Race but exemptions are available if supplied
At present all payment will be via Direct Deposit - we are aware of alternatives
The Brackenbury is more than a sporting event for runners and cyclists.
Our town was flooded 3 times in the last 12 months, and is struggling with the business and community rebuilding process.
This event forms part of a strategy that the Committee for Creswick is implementing in getting groups together working to achieve a common goal for the town .. and oh incidentally we hope to provide a great weekend of running, riding and frisbee throwing for all. See you there and if not ... that's ok!
