15.01.2022 Cancellation of Australian MTBO Championships. It is with much regret that the OA MTBO committee, in consultation with the Newcastle organisers, have cancelled ...the 2020 Australian MTBO Championships, scheduled for September 19-20. The current Covid 19 crisis in Victoria and smaller outbreaks in other states, resulting in travel restrictions, makes true national representation at the event impossible. The 2020 National MTBO Series is also not viable, as 2 of the 4 events (the Australian & Victorian Champs) are now both cancelled. Consequently the 2021 Australian MTBO Champs have now been re-allocated to Newcastle, again in September, so the areas, maps and courses planned for this year can be best utilised. Good news, for those that can travel, is that Newcastle will run two MTBO events on the weekend of 19-20 Sept 2020, on existing maps. These will be NSW Champs, if riders from all of NSW are able to attend confirmation & more details later. The Newcastle club has been very active in recent weeks, attracting large numbers to both foot & mtbo events. Queensland, WA, ACT & SA still look likely to be able to run their planned State Championships. The first up is Queensland, on the Sunshine Coast, on 12-13 September.

01.01.2022 When was the last time you gave your chain a really deep clean? Show it some love... remove it, clean all the gunk out and lube with your preferred potion. Spring for an Ultrasonic Cleaner for a really thorough job and try X25 cleaner (shellite) for a residue free clean.
