NSW Biketrials Series 2007 - Rnd 1

Monday April 30, 2007

Hi Everyone…..

Thanks again for showing up to comps last year and for helping make the 06 series a success…. Hope you’re all in the mood to go again….???

There’ll be a few different places to ride this year, but we’ll be starting this series where the last one finished….. Promise this is the only Arcadia round this year…..

Event: Round 1, 2007 NSW State Biketrials Championships
Venue: Arcadia
Date: Sunday, May 20th
Directions here

I’ll post some more specific details later in the week, but try to get time off or make room for it in your calendars…..

OK, I also have another round confirmed at Pacific Park on Sunday August the 5th. Same place as last time, but this year there will be no downhillers on that valley and we have access to the whole lot (which looked killer) so it should be good. Again, I’ll post more details later, but just mark it down.

With a bit of luck we’ll have a Newcastle region comp going this year too and (fingers crossed) maybe some coastal stuff…..

Anyway, look out for more details soon…..

NSW State Titles

Sunday January 21, 2007

Hi All,

Firstly let me thanks a few people for their help last weekend. Starting with Adam Kelly….. AK’s had a huge hand in the success of this, our first season, and especially in making the titles a top day – everyone buy him a beer when you see him next.

I’d also like to thank Rob Parbery and all the guys at Manly Warringah MTB Club for all their help with the titles, from getting the venue sorted, organising the barbeque and generally being cool about trials.

But most importantly I’d like to thanks you guys, the riders, and in particular the 20 novice riders, most of whom had never ridden a comp before. I was stoked to see such a great turn out, and I hope we can keep the numbers high into next year and get some more great comps happening.

OK, results…....
