Hay there everyone

Ive been riding Xc recreationaly for a while and have decided that id like to try a race or 2 ( any excuse for another ride ;) )

Im not quite sure of where to start, does anyone know any clubs in either the Horsnby or Richmond areas of Sydney that have beginer level XC racing? Its also important that these clubs are friendly, the last thing i want is to turn up and have a whole bunch of im better than you crap thrown at me.

If anyone knows any clubs or belongs to any clubs id love to hear from you. If you want to get in contact with me directly, i can be found at lj_gtrxu1@hotmail.com via email or messenger

Also great site youve got here, well done ;)

cheers
