Hi all.
I started racing XC back in the late '90s and have been a member of the Fat Tyre Flyers ever since.
With a couple of kids and a lot of extra kilos I hardly race anymore, but keep my licence up to date just because. Well, in fact it may be because I am really proud of how low the number on my MTBA licence is and I dare not let it lapse!
So it's renewal time, and I thought that rather than just tick the same club affiliation I should actually check that they're still active and my $20 club fee (is it still that, I never look?) is actually going to a club, not just an ex-treasurer's bank account...
Is the FTF XC club still active? - website having vanished suggests not. I don't really mind funding the downhillers, which I guess is what I've been doing for a few years now, but I'm a hardtail XC girl from way back.
I tried hitting up all the old clubs websites, but none seem to have news from any thing after 2012 or so.
I'm so out of touch, anyone still racing XC in Melbourne or did the cyclocross juggernaut catch everyone?
In a nutshell, which XC club should I nominate for my MTBA licence renewal?
