Hi MUD!
It's that time of year, can you believe we have survived our first year? Not an easy task to set up a club and could not have been done with out your help.Thankfully the hard work should lighten a little this year but still heaps of rewarding challenges ahead.
I emailed all members the Committee Nomination form for this years AGM. The details for the AGM are as follows:
The AGM will be held at 11.30am, Sunday 20th of September, 2009 at Tabourie trail
(straight after the MUD race + bring snags etc for a BBQ after!)
If you would like to take a turn to be part of this well oiled machine, now is ya chance. If you would like a bit more say or would just like to help in any way,stick ya neck out and get out of ya comfort zone! The committee have worked hard this year and need some new blood and muscle to take us into 2010 and beyond. A few more hands would help spread the load and keep the core determined.
How about those MUD FOXES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ad, Secretary, MUD mtb
ps Secretary will need a break too!

MUD FOX SUCCESS
Sunday 9th August saw the inaugural Pleasure and Pain Enduro Mountain Bike race at Coffs Harbour on the NSW north coast. Local mountain bikers Shannon Weeks, Pam Carter, Louise Hamilton and Rachel Tokley competed in the 50km event.
The course consisted of a majority of the sweetest single track and a blend of double/fire trail totalling 25km of mountain bike Nirvana. Bridge crossings, log rolls, jumps, hand crafted lines were a challenge for all riders. The large field included current world 24 hour mtb champion Jason English, Rockstar racing team and plenty of enthusiastic weekend warriors.
The MUD Foxes rode hard and all came home with cash and prizes for their efforts.
In a clean sweep Shannon Weeks not only won her age category but came first overall in the Womens 50K with a time of 3:10:18. Pam Carter stepped onto the winner’s podium in 2nd place for her age group with a time of 3:18:14 and 4th overall in the womens 50km. Louise Hamilton also won her age division coming in with a time of 3:41:43 and came 5th overall. Rachel Tokley completed 25km in 1:45:26 before retiring.
The results were outstanding for the girls this being their first 50km race. They have only taken up riding in the last twelve months and have been training hard and having loads of fun out on the trails. Call into Mountain Cycles for details of how to join the local MUD MTB club and join the girls and the guys for a ride in the dirt.

New Club Rides
Hi fellow MUD members,
We the committee have decided to shake things up a bit and alter the club rides. The way it is at the moment the guys have no day light to ride in, so there will now be no segregated rides. The Thursday ride is open to all members, boys and girls. The Wed girls ride will no longer be on offer, the girls can join in the Thursday ride, and the Saturday ride is now open to all members. So 2 rides to chose from, the only deciding factor is if you want to get up early on Saturday for an 8am start.
Hope to see plenty of you out there this Saturday.
