Brownie Points Burner XCM Taree
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
Clarendon Forest Retreat, Possum Brush Road, Taree. will host the event with onsite camping and accommodation options - www.cfr.com.au
Is 25mins drive from Forster and Old Bar for more family orientated accommodation.
In 2013, the Brownie Points Burner will be raced on Sunday the 25th of August. Yes we tried a 2 day event there previously and its bombed, but so do the trails. Evil climbs and epic descents plus the much mentioned Taree Tip Riders Trails.
We hope you've been saving your brownie points lately, because this is one marathon race you don't want to miss.

The SRAM Singletrack Mind Series features five mountain bike endurance events, of 7 or 8 hours duration. They will take you to five different locations in NSW, each one renowned for its flowing singletrack and fun factor.
The Series will kick off in fine style at a new venue for 2013, Kiwarrack State Forest in Taree!

Get your leave pass booked pronto, this is a venue not to be missed!
Fling Training

Next to the tip entrance (grassed area) on The Bucketts Way (between Tinonee and Purfleet).
Looking to get a last longish training ride in before the Fling while I'm up north visiting family.
I'm envisaging a couple of trips up Heart Rate Hill and the fire road that takes you to the top of Skull and Son of Skull, as well as the normal XC loop.
Company is welcome. It's been awhile so I'm not sure of the state of the circuit markings, so if you're a local your company would be particularly appreciated.
See you there.

Given that it's (edit: NOT!) Mothers' Day I'm not expecting a great turnout, but company would be welcome for all or part.
I'm looking to do two, hopefully three laps of the XC circuit, if I can remember where all the turns are. 
(Anyone got a GPX?)
If that's a fit for you, come and say Hi. I'll be driving a white Commodore with a four-bike roof rack and I'll be on a silver Cannondale with one of them weird half-missing forks 
Start time can be negotiated earlier if required - majority rules (so long as it isn't toooo early)

It's likely this will be the purple loop again to bed it in properly for the GNaTPACK series. This loop is a good technically based loop that will test skills as well as fitness. There are no big climbs but there are a number of small pinches that will take it out of you. It really is a track where you will be constantly thinking and working hard but having a hoot too. It also incorporates the legendary Widow Maker to keep you on your toes.
