WHAT = The opening round of the 2005/06 National Mountain Cross Series.
WHERE = Sydney Olympic Park!!!!!!!
WHEN = Friday October 21st (During the Bicycling Australia Show this year) Final under lights.

Sound OK? Well the good folk at Bicycling Australia (publishers of MBA, BA etc and organisers of the BA Show for the last 100 years or so) have been working on this event for close to a year now. They're guaranteeing a minimum of $5000 prizemoney with free admission to spectators and two free passes to the BA Show itself for every competitor.

The event will be run on a brand new, purpose-built course which will then REMAIN as a permanent facility for MTBers within the heart of Sydney. It's to be constructed by the Sydney Olympic Park Authority after their approval of a generous budget for it.

There are still a few environmental and logistical matters to be worked through and until they're dealt with the event is not 100%, but it's close and the more interest in it the more it's likely to happen.

So register that interest now by going to www.bicyclingaustralia.com and clicking on New Mountain Cross Course. You can also contact Joanne or Melissa on (02)4225 9111 for additional information. The organisers are not asking for entry fees or any obligation from riders/teams etc... they simply want to get as much interest going as possible to help push this great sounding event (and of course the facility itself!) over the starting line.
