Yeeha, Lockdown is over and we can finally get out to play. In recognition of hitting Level 1 we are fast tracking the first race of the 2020 Central Bicycle Studio Winter Series with another 4 rounds following from July to September to complete the series.
To help manage registrations at each round we are providing the opportunity for club members (or members of other MTBNZ affiliated clubs) to enter for the series online before the first or second rounds. As another incentive to enter online you will get entry for the 5 race series for the price of 4 individual rounds. Entry for the series will remain open online until 10 pm on the 3rd July.
Every rider in the series will be expected to help out at at least one race. Race set-up, marshalling, mites trail grooming, course marking, tail end charlie and helping pack up at the end of the race are all tasks people can help with so it won’t prevent you racing on the day. You can also have a rep do the task for you. We will be setting up a booking form to register which event and task you want to take on, there will be limited roles at each race for around 20 people.
