MTB Day Trip:
On Saturday 26 Feb we took our first official MTB Day Trip up to Ourimbah and Awaba MTB parks. We all had a great time besides a few minor incidents ... below are just two clips from a two 'mis-jedgements' - the other clip from our trip can be found here.



What are these day trips about ... they're all about taking Sydney riders North to hit up the MTB trails at Ourimbah and Awaba. mtnbike departs from two locations in Sydney, 1) Super Centre at Moore Park and 2) 120 Pacific Hwy North Sydney. Cost is $89 and includes transport of you and your bike plus lunch. The trails up there are flowing and full of single track. Book Now to get your spot sorted. If I come along what should I bring? Check out our FAQ section.

Accommodation has been booked for La Haute Route. Five star accommodation pre and post race in Geneva and Nice. Below is a brief review of what is in store for those lucky enough to be coming along for the racing adventure.

 Le Richemond 
Set on the banks of Lake Geneva, overlooking the famous Jet d’Eau, with the snow-capped Alps in the distance, the historic Le Richemond is one of the most prestigious hotels in Geneva.
All rooms are decorated in a contemporary style and equipped with a unique individualized heating/cooling system, dual-line telephones with voice messaging, LCD flat-screen television with interactive video on demand, satellite, cordless keyboard with internet access through the TV, data port with high speed internet connection, in-room safe, minibar, hairdryer, heated towels rack and many enjoy views over the peaceful Brunswick Gardens or Lake Geneva.
In addition, in all Suites: docking station for Ipod, plasma screen in bathrooms, and DVD player.



Le Negresco

Set on the shore of the Mediterranean, the Negresco is much more than a luxury hotel; it is the result of human adventures, of meetings, of anecdotes, of artistic flair – from the situation itself and its collections.




The decoration of each one of our 94 guestrooms and 31 suites has been inspired by the most outstanding periods of French art and history. Rooms have been individually decorated to reflect styles as different as Louis XIII and art deco.
The most recent technology has not been forgotten and every room is equipped with LCD television sets and Wifi Internet access.
