The national series for the 2006/2007 season has been finalized.
Once again the season sees 4 high quality venues conducting events
from October 2006 through to February 2007.
The season kicks off with the much anticipated MTNX#1 at Sydney
Olympic Park, which last season saw over 200 riders coverge on the
first purpose built and permanent MTNX course in a major city. This
season the event (October 21) is going to be event bigger and it will
be held in conjunction with the Sydney Festival of Cycling. The
following day (October 22) sees XC#1 being staged at the very well
known Yellowmundee Regional Park near Richmond by Western Sydney MTB
Club.
DH#1 will be hosted by Central Tablelands MTB Club at their awesome
course at Lithgow the following weekend (October 29).
National level mountain bike competition will see a welcome return to
Tasmania (November 25-26) with the Hobart Dirt Devils hosting XC#2,
DH#2 and MTNX#2 at the now well respected Glenorchy Mountain Bike
Park, whose Glen Jacobs designed courses were very favorably received
last season. With a promise of better and weather resistant DH
transport this season we are certainly looking forward to another
visit to the Apple isle.
Thredbo (December 16-17) hosts XC#3, DH#3 and MTNX#3 with chair-
lifted DH competition, high altitude XC and a Jacobs inspired MTNX
course this event will finish off the year very nicely.
The final round of the MTNX series (MTNX#4) will be hosted at
Blackhill, near Newcastle (January 7), and the final rounds of XC and
DH (XC#4 and DH#4) will be staged at the ever famous Mt. Beauty
(February 24-25).
Amongst all this is of course the Australian MTB Marathon
Championships (Toowoomba, September 3) and the Australian MTB
Championships in Canberra (January 24-28), the subject of some recent
media attention due to the possibility of the ACT hosting the 2008
World MTB Championships (see MTBA website).
Look out for the new season logo and the updated national season
website that will be live from September 1.
Please contact MTBA for any further information. A downloadable pdf
with contact details for the hosts is available on the MTBA website.
Thanks you for your interest and support of Australian MTB.
