Mountain Biking part 2

I have been waiting of the information about the college sport mountain biking events to come out, nothing has come to the school (I have been in contact with Darryl since day one), so we kept an eye out on the college sport website, The sports coordinator received no information on this.

The dates listed on the site today!!! Are as follows

Organiser

Now this is just great, everything else on collegesport is available on the collegesport website, apart from the mountain biking, yeah, as I am thinking, great, just great!

I received a document when I emailled the organiser, and here are the new dates, I put them up here so I have an easy to access copy of them in case I need them at school.

2007 ‘Confirmed’ dates

Sunday’s:

• May 6 MTB RACE ONE: Riverhead #
• June 10 MTB RACE TWO: Woodhill @
• August 5 MTB RACE THREE: Hunua
• September 2 MTB RACE FOUR: Whitford *

• N.B.1. # RACE 1 clash with Moro event 19/20 May – hence change (+ N-Duro #1 was 27/5/07)
• N.B. 2. RACE 2 clash with N-Duro 2 so moved back one week
• N.B.3. * RACE 4 original date 19^th August (in ASB Calendar) clashed with a N-Duro race. Possible Alternate: 2 September (but these are either side of Easter Tournament week)
• N.B. 4. Whitford should be available despite logging earlier in year.

Overall, something i have learnt from this experience, don't trust anyone, email the organiser and get the details first hand, even though it has been done another way for years.

Oh the website for collegesport www.collegesport.org.nz
even the ags mountain bike group that organise the AKSS races haven't got anything up on their website about the event. Oh well, better luck next year, and there will be a next year :)
