In memory of Brian Cockbain It was sad to hear that Brain passed away on Saturday while on a road ride. Apparently not racing as he was saving himself for today’s GNaTPACK race at Bom Bom. As most would know he has been in fine form and would have pushed the crew. I, like many others from the New England area, believe he was one of the critical few track fairies who put together the Jack Ridge trails and in particularly that magic section “The Roller Coaster” where I still remember the hoots of joy from my family as we rolled through. NEMTB sends their condolences to Brian’s family, loved ones, friends and all the cycling eternity both on the mountain bikes and ...

Working Bee Thank You and Report Sunday 27th July Feelings of disappointment about missing the Grafton GNatPACK event were eased at the end of the working bee when yet again we had to say “I can’t believe how much we got done”. Zig and his Dingo seem hell bent on putting us handtool workers out of business and once again worked some magic. Making curves with a machine that works best on rectangles is no mean feat. Shane and Sarina Emery were brave enough to tackle a very difficult, rocky, uphill bend and triumphed in the end. Ever reliable Terry Paris continues to make berms and drainage with great ease. David Symons brought the Booroolong Rural Fire Service small tanker and watered parts of the trail as part ...

Bom Bom Blast- GNaTPACK Race 4 This is a rundown from today at Grafton, check back for results soon. After a stormy Saturday afternoon here in Armidale, a strong contingent of NEMTB headed to Grafton and basked in the glorious clear blue skies and mid 20 degree temperatures of Grafton for round 4 of the Gnatpack series. The usual NEMTB suspects from Moree, Walcha and Armidale lined up on the start line of the fast and flowy trails of Bom Bom State Forest. Jack Feltham continued his blistering form of the past few weeks and was briefly seen scorching up the trail on the way to taking 1st place in the teams event with his partner in crime Michael Harris, who wasn't seen flying up ...

2014 Winter Series Race 4 - Walcha NIXC Round - 20/7/2014 Photo - Jack Feltham dominating the field.What a great turnout to Walcha’s MTB Track inaugural race. 9 Dirt Masters and 65 full track competitors mopped up the 8.6km track that had been sculpted through the eucalyptus woodland. The weather was kind with none of the recent snow, only light wind and a temperature of around 10C – perfect racing weather. There were a lot of very positive comments about the new track and Chris Feltham and Speedy (the main track builders) can be very proud of their efforts. In addition to the track, the BBQ egg and bacon rolls and steak sandwiches were hitting the spot on race completion. To top of that, Armidale’s very own Bicycle Central ...
