Saturday Beginners / Kids Ride Cancelled
Sat Jan 28th
Due to the amount of rain we received this week the track at Underwood Park is too wet for today's ride. I am also concerned at the amount of seepage making footpath slippery and the prospect of further showers on the radar this morning. We shall try again next Saturday.

2012 BSMC Summer Sprints
BSMC Summer Races Feb 5th, Feb 19th, Mar 18th and Apr 1st
Underwood Park (see BSMC track info page on how to get there and style of track)
Sunday morning 7.30am start. Registration closes 30 minutes prior to race starts.
Races will be time bound allowing all riders equal track time and making the day finish on time for you to enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Once a time limit is reached the track is closed to new laps with riders able to complete the lap they are on. The places are awarded to the most laps in the time allocated and then first over the finish line if equal on laps.
This is not a series and riders are free to change categories, and encouraged to do so, to match their abilities and category. The goal is for everyone to challenge themselves not sandbag in lower grades. Officials will have the discretion to move riders up if obvious they are in a lower category than they should be. Use previous year's results and times to estimate your grades.
Adult podium places will be awarded modest cash prizes dependant on sufficient riders to afford such.
All podium places (including children) will be awarded ribbons or "Summer Sprint" race plate place keepsake.
Categories may be combined if numbers are too low in any one category.
Racing schedule (presentations follow each category once the podium places are made official)
Adults $10 and Children $2 for club race fee.
MTBA day licence required if not a MTBA club member current cost from MTBA for this is Adults $20 Children $5
