The Summer Series of mountain bike races is about to take off with the first round being held on Monday February 4.  These races are run by New England Mountain Bikers (NEMTB) and are being held for the first time on three different tracks around Armidale. Races will rotate around Kookaburra Crest, Sport UNE Mountain Bike Track and Armidale State Forest (The Piney). Check the "Where to ride" link for more information.

There are two races each Monday afternoon.  The Junior and Female race started at 5.30 pm with the men and elite women racing at 6.10pm.  Registration for both races needs to be done at least 15 minutes before race start.  Both races are 35 minutes long with riders completing as many laps as possible of the track. In addition, club coach David Harris will run a skills session before each Monday’s races at 4.30pm for any interested riders.
