WAIKATO WEEKEND "FESTIVAL OF MOUNTAINBIKING"

Saturday 13th February Black Stump Adventure Ride
Our club turns up in droves to this one and usually dominates the results. What's more Graeme has promised us that 2010 will be the first ever dry year for this event so there cannot possibly be any mud this time round. He is adamant the bestowed title of "Droughtbreaker" will be no longer valid, since Mid-February is obviously the most weather reliable time of the year. Full information here.
Maybe this year with all the riders in town for the NZ MTB Cup there'll be some extra out-of-towners riding.

Sunday 14th February Hamilton Round of the 2010 NZ MTB Cup
