Was disappointed to see the meeting rescheduled because I think there is something that needs addressing fairly urgently……..the dh race,

As some of you will know TMBC has been pencilled in to host a Sunshine Series downhill round on Sunday May 6th, not much more than a month away. At this point however I haven’t seen any official confirmation or promotion of the series by MTBA or the state coordinator which makes me wonder if Sunshine Series will even happen this year. That being the case, I think the club needs to make a decision now as to whether it wants to press ahead with a dh race in May regardless of whether it turns out to be part of the Sunshine series or not. There’s a fair amount of leg work involved in organising and running these races and only limited time left available to get things sorted so what does everyone think?

The club has relied heavily in the past on this annual event for financial security so there is a monetary incentive to make it happen, however I calculate the break even point is somewhere in excess of 100 riders so could a stand alone TMBC event with a month’s notice expect to attract at least this many competitors?

I wasn’t planning on having a whole lot to do with running this years race but am happy to get involved to some extent and provide advice to organisers where needed. Attached is a jobs list for these races for anyone interested in getting their hands dirty.

Thanks Mark for chipping in. I totally agree with Mark's comments and it would be good if he did not get lumped with all of the running around given how much he has contributed to the club over the past few years.
Cheers
