The Aussie Home Loans 2010 Queensland State XC MTB Championships

The Aussie Home Loans 2010 Queensland State XC MTB Championships

Hosted by Kenmore Cycle Club

Come join us at the famous Mt Crosby race track for the 2010 QLD XC MTB Championships. Just because it is a state championship doesn't mean you cant race. It will be like every other race, just some of the serious riders will be racing hard for the title - weekend warrior style riders are welcome to come and race. The day will run like any other KWT Maxxis Sunshine Series event with same timetable, with small changes to laps for higher grades.

All competitors who live more than 300km from the event will have their entry fee refunded on the day.

Coffee will be done by The Local Bean from Kenmore. Best Coffees in the west.

The important details:

When – 17th October 2010

Where – Mt Crosby race track,

Rego – From 0700

Entry fees – $10 - U11, U13. $20 – U15, U17. $45 - All other classes. $10 extra for on-day entries. Please entry online as it makes life easier for you and the club. Day licences will be sold at $15 each. Entries close half hour before race start.

Entries Open: https://www.registernow.com.au/mtba/ERegister.aspx?S=&E=454

Racing – Starts at 0800 with juniors.

Prizes – All winners will receive medals.

The private property is on Swensons Rd, Mt Crosby, 15km from Kenmore. From Moggill Rd Pinjarra hills, turn onto Mt Crosby Rd – travel 6.5km and turn right on to Wattle St (turn is at the top of a hill, but there’s a turning lane) Race venue is 2km along. Follow MTB signs. Wattle St becomes Swensons Rd – when you hit the dirt road, you’ll see the race venue.

Coming from the West – get onto Mt Crosby Rd from Karana Downs or Mt Crosby, and turn left into Wattle St.

Will this include a SS category to give us the State SS Champion? Just two Open Male and Female categories should do it.

It's the weekend before the World SS Championships in Rotorua, so could be a good category to have - or maybe it's too close to the big race to risk an injury and not racing the worlds??

Sorry mate, dont think we can have SS only cat.

It would be on the cards for next year for sure.. I'm sure Kenmore Cycle Club would help out with holding a SS State champs too.

In other news, we are looking at making the track a little longer with a fun section through a dry creek bed.

Also, people are asking if they can come from interstate to race - Sure, why not... It will be good to have others come race with us.. They wont have the title of State Champ though. Others have asked about jerseys too, Still unsure if we can afford them yet, unless we have a few more sponsors hop on board...

Declan.

Just another note, the track will be amazing. Although I won't be in Australia for the race, I still spent a few hours out on sunday morning with a few other Kenmore Club Members repairing/adding bits to the track. If anyone else is interested to come out PM Ahock46 or Raw Toast Man. (Or myself - I can also get details) State champs is going to be AWESOME!!

Plenty of land mines being "dumped" around the grassy sections of the course from the commando cows as well...

Hey quick question, if you never been in a race before is this as good as any place to start?

Why not.

My son's first race was in a Nationals round at Illinbah. He got smacked up but hasn't left the race scene since. The only thing he was aware of was the guys were going to be fast. And they were. He didn't come last either though. Had fun and proved something to himself.

At any race the fast guys will go fast so the name of the race doesn't much matter. The only difference might be how well it is organised. But even that can sometimes not be a true indication of the "importance" of the race.
