Orange MTB - Kinross Club XC Race
The city of Orange is around 4 hrs from Sydney and 3 hrs from Canberra. Kinross State Forest is situated on the northeast edge of town, a 10 minute drive or 20 minute ride from the Orange town centre.
Meet at the Bulgas Road carpark, Western edge of the forest.
This month our normal monthly race is promoted as part of bike week. So to encourage new people along we're going to have a more relaxed timed ride around a loop at the forest.
There is a loop that is more suitable for more adventurous riders of about 4km (up 'TTT' and down the 'North Shore' track) and a shorter loop of about 1.4 km. There'll be the choice of doing 2 or 3 loops of your chosen track.
The 1.4km track is suitable for juniors and those newer to MTBing.
Cost will be $10 ($5 for MTBA members, the extra $5 is for an MTBA day participation license).
Geurie Time Trial
The Track head is at the south-western end of Chambers St at Geurie. Turn south off the highway at the Servo.
A Time Trial style event, similar to what the roadies have been doing for years, except we get to have three bites at the cherry. Its the short loop at geurie, 3.5km but you'll get 3 non-consecutive cracks at it.
Followed by a social ride to check out our proposed new riding venues close by.

Dirty Duathlon - Off road run/ride race
The city of Orange is around 4 hrs from Sydney and 3 hrs from Canberra. Kinross State Forest is situated on the northeast edge of town, a 10 minute drive or 20 minute ride from the Orange town centre.
Meet at the Bulgas Road carpark, Western edge of the forest.
In July we are combining with the Orange Triathlon club to put on a 'Dirty Duathlon'. This will combine off road running with off road riding.
Updated details are below. I have a feeling that us mountain bikers will be catching people during the bike leg so take it easy and be nice as you pass. Especially as they will be catching us again on the run 
Have a think about what shoes and pedals to use and as you will switch. These tri-athletes are used to swapping shoes quick so we have to try and not be humiliated too much
Duathlon Details
We will hold the following races starting at 10:00am:
. Juniors 400m run 1km bike 400m run
. Mid 1.5km run, 6km bike, 1.5km run
. Long 3km run, 12km bike, 3km run
Darryl Grant Cycles are supporting the event so there will be some
goodies up for grabs. Maybe prizes or maybe random draws. Thanks
Darryl and Rocket. Please remember to support those local businesses
that support us.
Register between 9:00 and 9:45
We have to pay State Forests for use of their facilities and day
licences for those non members who have not joined either club yet so
costs will be:
$5 for members of Orange Tri Club and or CWORBC
$15 for non members. Please remember to join the club (see details

Orange MTB - Kinross Club XC Race
The city of Orange is around 4 hrs from Sydney and 3 hrs from Canberra. Kinross State Forest is situated on the northeast edge of town, a 10 minute drive or 20 minute ride from the Orange town centre.
Meet at the Bulgas Road carpark, Western edge of the forest. Some events are held at the alternative race hub near the top of the north Shore track.
***Cancelled*** - it's too wet. Having just played soccer I can report that the weather is horrible and wet and wet and windy and I think a race tomorrow won't be any fun to organise or ride in. It will also probably rip up the tracks. The forecast does not give any confidence that it will dry out much before tomorrow. If it's looking not too bad then some of us might go out for just a relaxed social ride at the same time (10am). But maybe not too 
If we do meet at the car park.
**************************
