Happy New Year! 1st newsletter of 2010, lots to talk about….
January 13, 2010Happy New Year to you all. I hope you each had a great festive season and managed to get in plenty of riding wherever you ended up. We hit the trails in Tauranga, Rotorua, Christchurch, Alexandra and Naseby and had a great time and caught up with some club members on the way. Thanks for waiting for me 
by the way, maybe this year I’ll be able to get back into decent shape, we’ll see. 2009 finished on a high note with some cracking events rounding out the year and there is already a lot on the horizon for 2010. Here is a smattering of stuff that I thought you might be interested in.

Merry Christmas and Club Christmas ride
December 18, 2009Ho ho ho! I can’t believe it’s a week until christmas and I’m going to have to make some space for all the gifts I’m going to get! It’s been a long year this year and the committee has worked hard to bring you a range of club rides, away rides, races and interesting news and stuff in the newsletter and a new website. So we’re taking a break. We won’t meet again until Feb and I’m not going to check my emails much so don’t be offended if you contact me and don’t hear back from me. Read the rest of this entry »

ARC Parks Management Plan
December 8, 2009We have received a draft of the proposed ARC Regional Parks Management Plan with content on CD and some printed items outlining the changes. Part 11 is of most relevance to us and covers Recreation and Use Management; in summary there are plans to enhance existing MTB trails and develop new tracks in Atiu Creek, Hunua Ranges, Long Bay, Omana, Te Arai and Waharau.
With the info pack comes a request to make a submission to the ARC based on the document and our objectives regarding MTBing in the region, with specific reference to ARC parks of course. This forms part of the mandatory consultation process that the ARC must undertake and gives us the opportunity to put our ideas forward.
The deadline for submissions is 23 December and this post is a call to anyone out there that has experience in this sort of thing and would like to make a submission under the guise of the Auckland MTB Club.
If you’re keen to give it a shot, drop me an email marke@aucklandmtb.co.nz.
Thanks.

2009 R&R Sport – Auckland MTB Club Round 3 results
December 8, 2009Evening all,
I realise you are all eagerly anticipating seeing the full series results but I’m waiting for the final list to come through from Stephen and some photos from Richard and then I’ll get a full write up posted. Won’t be long….
The final results from Round 3 are attached to this post. Well done to all winners on the day and thanks again to all the volunteers that helped marshal, rego and race timing and course set up/removal. A great effort overall.
A few housekeeping things:
- if you paid by cheque and have noticed that it has not been banked don’t panic, all cheques will be banked this week.
- a number of you joined as members at one of the races and I have your email addresses and will be in touch shortly.
Will have series results up online soon.

2009 R&R Sport – Auckland MTB Club Spring Series Final Round
December 2, 2009Evening all, I’m just heading out to Woodhill for what looks to be a cracking Christmas party but wanted to remind you about our final race this Sunday.
We’ll be out at Woodhill based down in the overflow car park off the main carpark and we’ll use a course similar to the Wednesday night race course. We’ll have Horleys on hand with pre and post ride drinks, loads of spotties from Horleys, Jungle coffee, R&R Sport (who’ll also be there to help with any last minute servicing requirements) and MZ Mountain Biker mag.
The Auckland champions will be decided this Sunday and it’s taking place in your favourite playground! Rego from 9am, race start at 11am.
Also, below is a link to a PDF showing the series standings to date based on the results of the first two rounds. Note that not all DNFs have been included so it may change a wee bit between now and the end of Racing on Sunday.
