Sram Singletrack Mind – Series One Report

It’s on again! The opening round of the Chocolate Foot STM series was held at Kiwarrak State Forest in Taree for the very first time. In the weeks leading up to the day, the Manning Great Lakes Tip Riders crew spent some serious back breaking hours creating a race track that in my opinion is one of the best tracks I’ve ridden.

Chocolate Foot's Single Track Mind Series, 27th November 2012

We loaded up the MBA RAV4 and headed for the hills at Awaba for a sizzling finale to the 2012 SRAM Singletrack Mind Series.

Round Six of the SRAM Singletrack Mind Series played out in extreme heat at the Awaba Mountain Bike Park near Newcastle. Over 360 riders arrived to get some hot dirt action in the scrubby, swoopy trails of Awaba—even forecasts of temps in the mid-thirties were not enough to put riders off!

It’s hard not to talk about transfers this time of year, but before that, and something closely related, is the emergence of Lance Armstrong’s all powerful, supposedly all-conquering, Team RadioShack, set to make its 2010 race debut at our very own Tour Down Under.
