Seeing as you've already got going on last years thread I thought I should post the flyer for this years one.

Just to bump start the new thread

Sounds like it's gonna be a good one! Lots of us KB girls entering, we should all wear our t shirts or something!

Ladies are in race 2 this year so you will get the fresh long track to ride on- doesn't get better than that.

I don't have one either, although I could wear my pit crew shirt that I made for the 2 man, seeing as I will be my own pit crew...

Highly contemplating, although I am kinda nervous of my abilities... I'll be fine as long as there are no steep downhills, if there are then me and my bike may just have to cartwheel down them...

Least with downhills you can get down one way or another

I'm flagging this years but look at doing next year for sure -will get fitter too as don't think at the mo i could ride that long or if i did i'd be buggered for weeks after

Last year there were no downhills as far as I know. It was like an easy blue at Woodhill. I didn't do it last year as I'd only been riding a short time. I'm gonna give it a shot this year. So Buffstar's keen and me and Racy Tracy. I know another girl doing it, Anita, she did it last year! Should be fun, i'm s....... myself already!!!

I haven't had a real proper ride in weeks cause of my bike being moody, so I'm feeling really out of practice for this, just really really hope we can get it and the car sorted this weekend. Maybe maybe if I'm lucky get in some time at the sandpit on Sunday. I'm excited about getting to race with you girls! Hope I make it out on two wheels unassisted this time!

Hope you can make it! I haven't ridden in ages either, probably once in the last 2 months... Trying to squeeze a practice ride in this weekend if I can find transport/time/somebody to ride with...

Have you found what the problem is or finding it is what you've gotta sort first? Surely it won't die again on ya???

Okay can someone please advise me on the most cost effective way to enter this race for 2 kids? At the moment it is going to cost me $100 entrance for the day!!
I've looked at the website but wanna hear from people who have been down this track before.

eg: Do I pay for a WMC family membership, FAMILY @$35.00, but what does this mean for me? Are there any benefits in joining this club? Do I have to still pay $35 for each child as well as 2x 1 day MNZ licence?

HOW DO I START RACING?

1. The easy way- turn up on a 'Club Race Day' with a bike and suitable riding gear, join the Club ($20.00), take out a one event licence ($15.00), pay your event entry fee, ensure your bike is well muffled and safe, and that's all it takes- you can take out up to 4 day licenses per year and if you decide to go for the full licence present 2 day licence forms to MNZ and receive a $30.00 rebate.

2. Fill in the club membership form below and send into us (with your cheque and self addressed envelope), then we will send your membership card back along with the MNZ race licence application form which you then send into MNZ with your cheque ($75.00 members club only or $125.00 Full Competition). This is what we prefer as it saves paperwork on race day.

That makes for an expensive weekend!!! What does this licence do? Make you ride faster?
Actually was chatting to KTMBOY on Sunday and he really feels that we should do it for the experience...but is also more technical and much harder than the Woodhill 2Man course!
