Where to MTB ride in Newy area?

[Domestique]

Hi , 

I mate of mine is an MTB'er and is looking for people to train with. He's pretty serious about it, having raced alot. He's new to Australia and needs to learn the local rides and meet some people.
I'm a roadie so I've got no idea where to begin in this area.

Give me a buzz on 0432118420 if you have a ride he can join.

Cheers,

Pete

Local club is HMBA - they race at Awaba once a month. Tracks are always open to be ridden.
Website - http://www.hmba.asn.au/

There are a lot of groups that ride together in places like Glenrock, and also areas less well known. These can vary from social rides to 100-milers.
A mate of mine runs a local blog that is worth checking out. He's an A grader with the mtb club, and a keen trail-builder. http://pi11wizard.wordpress.com/

Some of the HMBA A graders work at Gateshead cycles, it'd be worth going in there.

Hope this helps.

Dr Rob ?

We use to know someone by that name who use to ride the track but has found work more exciting.

Yes it is me. Work commitments took me to Tamworth with two weeks notice until January 2011.

Long days, cold mornings, and lots of excuses have conspired to keep me off the bike. Until now.

I'll be back.
