Race is postponed until next Sunday the 6 May.
Who thought we were in a drought, for the 3rd year in a row the Sunshine Series round in Toowoomba has been rained out.
It was a very hard decision, it will most likely be fine all day tomorrow and no doubt you'll all winge. However we had to make the call today.
So next Sunday the 6 May the race will be re-run. See you all then. |

As most of you already know, Canberra received severe storms earlier in the year which greatly damaged the XC, MtnX and DH trails at the Stromlo Forest Park. With the opening round of the NSW/ACT MtnX and DH Series just 2 weeks away, we are in need of a lot of help. If you can spare yourself for either or both of the scheduled maintenance days, it would greatly help our efforts in getting this facility up to tip top condition.

Perspective Two - Rise of the Locals is about local riders in their element. The local scene is one of the most important parts of mountain biking, it’s what we all call home in different ways. Rise of the Locals aims to convey that local experience with the rest of the world.
