After several heat matches Team Madison took bragging rights from hosts Team Bicycle Works in the final. Over $600 was raised for St. John's Ambulance Brigade. Martin Bolton has promised a detailed report for next week including numerous photographs of his sporty socks. ANNUAL AWARDS DINNER - JAN 17

RACING MATTERS CONRAD'S MTB SEASON IS HERE!!!!
Racing starts on Sunday at Ft. Scaur and the course looks awesome. The stairs are worn, the rock is slippery and one of the climbs has been covered in loose rubble. Perfect! Racing starts at 9:00 sharp so don't be late. Check out the new race flags that will draw hundreds, if not thousands of adoring fans to this epic course. And don't forget to register in advance for the series. Yes, you can do it on the day but it makes everyone's life so much easier and Chelsea will be so much nicer if you do the advance registration. The form is below as are the series rules. Please be aware that if you want to compete in the series you must pre-register. You can sign up for single races on the day but that will not be considered in the series. Fees for the series are $60 for adults and $20 for 16 & Under. Single races will cost $15 for adults and $5 for juniors. Conrad's MTB Series Registration Form |
