2009 Winter Series

Here is the final draft of the winter calendar. Only 6 winter races, as we have received a lot of feedback on having a shorter championship season -  but we have several other events planned during the year.

2009

Other events

We are also looking at an 8 hour Endurance event at Eagle Park in early April, plus a Pony Express team event later in the year, plus a Super D event. We just have to find a spare date in the next 12 months!!

Club Meetings in 2009

We have decided to change the dates for the club meetings in 2009. Club meetings will now be held on the first Monday of each month (Except January where the will not be a meeting). This should allow people to attend the club meetings, and have their mid week ride.
