Entries

Entries are open and can be found here.
The race entries are $15.00 for juniors and $20.00 for seniors. All of the entries for this first race include a one off plate fee of $5.00. This is included in the price so that no one forgets to click the button (as seems to happen each year). Therefore you will see the entry costs as $20.00 for juniors and $25.00 for seniors. There is a $20 late fee for entering on the day (NO Exceptions).

Race Numbers

This $5.00 goes directly to WAMBA to fund projects like trail advocacy, legalizing and signing trails.
The number you purchase for this first race is your number for the whole season. You keep this number and bring it to each PMBC race from here on. Points are allocated based on THIS number, please do not forget to take it to the next PMBC races.

U9 and U13’s

Entries for Under 13’s are online for members only. If you are an Under 9 or Under 13 and not a PMBC or MTBA member then please enter on the day, as the day licence is only $5 on the day (and $20 online) and there is no entry cost for these classes. (Please note: there is a one off $5 plate fee).

Further info.

MTB Season Kick Off

Just a quick reminder that racing for real cyclists 🙂 starts this week with the Dirt Crits commencing on Tuesday and the 1st round of the XC season this Sunday.

Previous blog for the Crits can be found here. Don’t forget you will need your lights for this, discussion on lights is here, but in my opinion you can’t go past a decent set of Ayups. If a group of you get together and order at the same time and you speak to Ayup nicely they might give you a discount. They look after PMBC well and support our annual Dusk til Dawn 12hr Enduro.

Those wanting to get in on the action of the XC series can find all the details for the 1st round here. Just quickly it will be held down at Langford Park Jarrahdale, so if your not part of the final SPR/RCCC crits race, get yourselves down and have a race or support those who are. This is a nice easy trail to start the season off with.

If you are heading down drop a mention in the comments and i’ll know which tent etc to bring and how much room we need to setup.

12hr MTB Enduro

Its on again, the WA 12hr Enduro – Dusk til Dawn.

The 12 hour enduro rounds off the year of mountain bike events in Perth. PMBC will run the race, starting at 7pm and finishing 7am and yes you will need lights! The event will be held at Langford Park Jarrahdale, a 45 minute drive from Perth city. Expect a fantastic racing track, great prizes, a relaxed & professional atmosphere and most of all heaps of fun!

Team and Solo competitors will ride an awesome course of single track and fire trail attempting to complete as many laps as possible in the given time limit. The event is supported with food stalls, drinks & coffee and sponsor displays.

Already we have a number of teams from within our ranks and if your still thinking of joining the fun and festivities, get your entry in quick as there is not much time left before cutoff.

The Club tent will be setup and provide a hub for all to hang out and chill when not racing. Feel free to dress up as you won’t be the only one and given that xmas is not far away that may taint the theme for some. For full details if your not already aware head over to the official site – www.wa12hour.com.au

If you will be racing or able to make it down, let everyone else know by posting in the comments. Even if your not racing you can cheer on the riders or volunteer with Lorraine who will be there to ensure the night runs smoothly.
