Right, time to get the ball rolling!
On Sunday the 26th of September Albany Cycling Club MTB Chapter will be hosting a club race on the Mt Clarence DH track. This event is being held on a long weekend (Monday is the Queens birthday, but who didn’t know that already! 
) to cater for any Perth riders who feel the urge to roadtrip it down south for a fun weekend 
The track will be bunted on the Saturday morning, but it is to be noted that no offical practice will take place on Saturday. If any riders wish to ride the track before that, by all means feel free as the track is obvious so no way you could miss it.
Prices: 10 buck entry fee. Keep it simple and cheap, nothing like a fun race! It should be noted that THERE WILL BE NO SHUTTLES at this race, but push ups on this track are the easiest you will ever have to do (even Mike didn’t complain, that much). From our experiance the push ups are faster than the shuttles anyway, and with push ups you get to enjoy the nice views . We have a designated push up trail so you don’t have to worry about disrupting riders.
It is also to be noted that if you are not a MTBA member, you must also pay for a Day lisence.

Rego will start at 8.30 and continue untill racing starts.
Practice will start on sunday at around 9.30, depending on how flat out we are and will close at 12.
Racing will then commence at 12.30

Once again it has been brought to the attention of the club that people have been illegally camping again at the top of the hill above the downhill trails at Tom’s Crossing in Dwellingup.
Not only once again has a trail of litter been left behind but there has also now been destruction of the native vegetation.
These type of actions put yourself in breach of Calm Regulations (2002) , this reserves DEC the right to issue an infringement notice or to issue a breach notice(court proceedings) against those responsible. In addition offenders may also be barred permanently from entering the Lane Poole Reserve area thus leaving you unable to enter any events held by the club in the reserve area.
There are now trail markings from this Illegal camping area linking it to the start of the trails at Tom’s to suggest that the actions from this latest incident are those of mtber’s.
All of you as mtb’ers riding on DEC Land need to realise that it is a privilege, not a right for us to be on DEC managed Land as their priority is that of the natural bush land first, Organisations an Clubs second.
