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 June we are combining with the Orange Triathlon club to put on a 'Dirty Duathlon'. This will combine off road running with off road riding.
We tried this last year but got washed out.
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 the tri-athletes 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 and 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

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).

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.
