Dwellingup 100 – 2011

3 Comments

As some of you will know the Dwellingup 100 is on again in just over a week. This is WA’s Premier 100km MTB race, attracting some big name locals and east coasters as well as all the local hack’s who make these events what they are.

In traditional style I will be hitting it up again this year, to keep my 100% attendance going (even after swearing the 1st year I would never do it again). I know there are a number of other SPR members heading down. Please let yourselves be known and I can see whether it is viable to get the tents setup and have an SPR camp for us to base ourselves out of. If you are interested in racing, don’t dilly dally get your entry in before the cut off next week (Wed 14th). Don’t think your up for the full 100km, why not try the 40km.

If your not racing try and get yourself down for the day. There are numerous spectator points and this year the locals will have markets and a number of other things going on around the event village. To finish off the day there will also be an old fashioned ‘Bush Dance’ after party with some celebratory ‘lemonades’.

"Show your support"

Life Cycles film

WAMBA is pleased to present the premiere of the new Freeride MTB film ¨Life Cycles¨. This is set to be the premier MTB film of the year and has been shortlisted for inclusion in the Banff mountain film festival world tour.

From the Producers:

Life Cycles tells a spectacular story of the bike, from its creation to its eventual demise. A visually stunning journey, with thought provoking narration, Life Cycles uses Ultra HD to document the many stories surrounding the mountain bike and its culture.

Ride along into breath taking natural settings, as we battle the elements, showcase the progression of riding, take a road trip, fix the bike, and show the destruction and eventual creation of trails.

Semenuk, Hopkins, Schwartz, McIntosh, McCaul Agassiz, Hunter and Vanderham guide you through this wonderful story. Life Cycles is a celebration of the bicycle, and is sure to entertain anyone who has ever ridden one.

Visit http://vimeo.com/14600175 to see the official trailer.

The film is being screened at the Cygnet Cinema in Como on the 1st November 2010. Doors open at 6.30pm, and the film will show at 7.30. Tickets will be $20 and be available at the Garvey Park Dirt Crits. They are also available online at https://www.registernow.com.au/mtba/ERegister.aspx?E=496 . All money raised on the night will be going to support WAMBA’s trail advocacy work to improve our trail network.

This is a great chance to bring family or friends down to showcase our great sport and get them as enthusiastic as we are.

This will also be a chance to hear about the latest developments at the Goat Farm and the Kalamunda circuit, hear about the direction of WAMBA in 2011, and get involved in helping to determine the future direction of trail advocacy in WA.

John Carney will also be doing the Singletrack Minds series presentations on the night, so if you raced any of the 3hr or 6hr races get down there as you may have scored a prize.

PMBC XC Series – Round 3

8 Comments

This Sunday is round 3 of the 2010 XC series to be held at the Goat Farm.

For those who are interested but need more details, check out the event flyer. Don’t contemplate too long as pre race entry closes this Team SPRThursday, May 13th. If you miss the cut-off you can still enter on the day but there will be a $10 late fee.

Here is the link to register if you already know your keen – Register

With this event being close to Perth it would be great to get a good turnout. Its not as far to travel as Pemberton was and is closer than a lot of the Cyclo events so no excuses. This will be a good warm up forthe 6 Hr Enduro to be held on May 30th.

Let me know in the comments if you’ll be there and we can organise the tent, drinks etc if there is enough to warrant it.
