 The Surf Coast Cycling Club Has held its first Mtb event with great success. The response from local riders and families was overwhelming. The event included a kids race before the main event. Every kid that raced was a winner, The only casualty of the kids race was event organiser and club president Shane Haase. Shane took a spill during the practice lap but all the kids managed to negoitiate around him.
 The main event was a 1 hr Mini enduro with teams of two paired up by the event organisers. Legendary Mtb rider and international track builder Glenn Jacobs got the jump on the field after hiding behind race timer Kate Done, his lead was short lived and Karma had the final say when Glenn was forced to retire with a mechanical. There were three teams that looked like contenders for first place honurs right from the start. The eventual winners were local riders Brian Happ and Sandy Maxwell. Nine seconds further down the track were second place getters Travis Edwards and Lloyd Gray. Third place went to local Mtb guru Jeff Fox and his team of associates Postie Pete and Nichol Wylie .
The fastest lap recorded on the 1.4 km cousre was 5min 39 seconds achieved by Lorenzo Moro, Sandy Maxwell was only three seconds of the pace lwith a 5min 42 seconds. It has been noted that Lorenzo's wife was an official time keeper and that the times were calculated by Lorenzo without a calculator.
A big thanks is extended to all the particpants and club members that made the event possible.
The next event being held by the SC3 is a fun road criterium ride at the new Industrial centre on the left hand side of the Surf Coast Highway.

Every now and then you’ll get somebody walking into the shop looking for a single speed bike.
Often I would look at them and think why? One gear on a bike Don’t you know that gears were invented to give us a mechanical advantage so we can climb hills with ease
and then speed of down them?
If it wasn’t a BMX or a track bike I thought it was really a crazy idea, but how do you know if you never try. So I decided to convert my hard tail mountain bike into a singlespeed.
