September Trip - Just a quick recap from the weekend just passed - it saw a few firsts - first of the firsts was the fact that we didn't ride on the Saturday. We usually ride no matter the case but it was raining cats and dogs down there! After putting it to a vote, ALL the riders decided to give it a miss and have my guided tour of Canberra which included the National Portrait Gallery. Read more in our blog.

Below is Footage from the BIG TRIP SOUTH
MTNBIKE.COM.AU offers fully catered mountain
bike trips from Sydney to Canberra. The weekend
trips are all about riding and experiencing what
Canberra has to offer mountain bikers – flowing
single track.
The bus and purpose built trailer depart the first
weekend of each month on Saturday morning and
return Sunday night. The cost for the weekend is
$329. This covers accommodation, food and all
transport. Accommodation is at the Australian
Institute of Sport.
These trips are for all levels of riders – that’s the beauty of the trails in Canberra. A skills session and guides are provided for all levels of ability.
At the skills session you’ll learn how to brake, corner and jump. If you don't have a bike one can be rented for the weekend. Come Mountain Bike Canberra. Let mtnbike.com.au take you to the home of mountain biking in Australia and ride the trails for the 2009 World Championships.
We also offer private or mates weekends. After the explatory trip we added a whole bunch of new trails, amazing trails! Get together with a few of your mates and let us take you away to some flowing single track.
We drive. You ride.
Why riders will come along:
to ride single track on a minimum of three different parks
to ride 2009 World Champion trails
to hang out with your mates to ride with like minded people
The ride in Canberra this past weekend couldn't have been better, crystal clear skies, the perfect temperature and also great company! 6 of us had a good old time playing on the single tracks and the pictures are there to prove it. We are taking a little break from doing our normal group rides but we've got some privat...e trips coming up in January. Our next slated official trip will be 6-7 Feb. Check out the web site for more information. Have a great Christmas and New Year and hopefully we'll be riding together again soon. Cheers - Will
