Sounds awesome, but just curious, how much is a MTBA License?

Hey,

Brisbane South MTB Club is $105 that includes your MTBA insurance for the year and the club membership. I'm the secretary of the club so if you want a form let me know and I will email one through.

Guys just also wanted to say that I live around 15mins away from Underwood BMX Track and it is raining reasonably hard here, so I think for people who live not as close as me in the morning check http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR663.loop.shtml#skip before heading off in the morning and make sure it is raining anywhere near the Cleveland/Logan area.

Sarsha, if you get this, if it is raining in the morning is the race postponed until next weekend?

But I highly advise people checking before getting in the car and driving down or up here.

I will post this in all discussion threads as well to do with the race.
