Sporting 196 pages of photographic awesomeness, the newly formed Clict Photo Annual delivers a selection of the world’s finest shots from non other than the world’s greatest lens men – Damien Breach, Mark Watson, Fraser Britton, Geoff Waugh, Shawn Spomer, Chris Benny, Steve Behr, Victor Lucas, Sven Martin and Stephen Hillenbrand.

With only 500 copies being distributed world wide, the 2009 Clict Photo Annual is strictly limited edition and is only available through the most madcore of bicycle retailers (online later in the week).

Get your 1.2kg hard cased copy and bring it to Stromlo for Sam to autograph when he wins the Worlds.



National Marathon Championships - Cancelled

Big Hill Events regret to announce that due to the devastating fires that have recently swept the Wandong area, the FELT MTBA 2009 Australian National Marathon Championships has been postponed.

A new date, venue and host for the 2009 Championships are yet to be confirmed by MTBA. All current entrants will be contacted directly by Big Hill Events regarding the process for refund or credit.

Due to the severity of the damage caused by the fires, it is unlikely that Big Hill Events will be able to run a race in Wandong in the following year. However, Big Hill Events are very busy with plans for a new Victorian race venue for March 2010 and are hopeful of being given the opportunity to host the 2010 MTBA Australian National Marathon Championships.

Big Hill Events are also planning to co-host a 6 hr Enduro as part of the Victorian Enduro Series and host a stage race that will include a Hill Climb, XC race and Mini Marathon.

We thank you for your patience and understanding. We would also like to share our great appreciation towards our many sponsors and supporters of the 2009 event.

Our thoughts remain with all of those who have been affected by the Victorian bush fires.

Mountain Bike clubs around the country responded to the offer from MTBA to donate $10 each for the first 1,000 riders at any MTBA events so well that our target of $10,000 has already been achieved.

Thanks goes to Brisbane South MTB Club, Canberra Off Road Cyclists, Western Sydney MTB Club and Rocky Trails Events, Launceston MTB Club, Coomella-Mildura Mountainless MTB Club and of course all the clubs and participants at the You Yangs 6 hour enduro.

MTBA has now sent the Red Cross a cheque for $10,000 to help all those affected by the Bush fires.
