Hi all, thought I put up this post to try to find out what race meetings & clubs may be happening in and around Adelaide in the near future?

I don't have any bikes myself at the moment. But I'd like to rectify that asap. But in the meantime, I'm happy to come along and wave a flag, knock posts in etc at a meeting if required.
My nearest train station is Glanville, but CBD is pretty close too. So any locations/event dates/meet up details would be welcomed.

Thanks,
Nathan (HBS).

Hi Shane, nice to hear from you. Yes, I have relocated to Adelaide. I didn't really want to leave Tassie. :( I really liked the place. But there was no way for me to progress my working career upwards at UTAS. So when an oppoprtunity came up at UofA, it seemed a good idea to accept the position and move my sorry south-west London arse to Adelaide. Nothing wrong with Tassie though mate. Just sorry I didn't get a chance to ride at one of your clubs meetings. Hope your eye situation is now fully sorted out. :)

Thanks for the "heads up" LWC82PE I'll keep an eye out for meetings at Crystal Brook and ACUSA Park. :)

Great, thanks for the link VMX247, I'll investigate and find out what suitable clubs are near to me.  :)

It sounds a bit like you don't have a car but if you can make it over the border in July then I would highly you recommend check out the Harrow Vinduro.
It may well be Vics closest event to Adelaide.

Hi GMC, thanks for the Vinduro info. That looks like a good event. Luckily, I do have a car (with a towbar!). It's just that I currently don't have a bike. So I may well check out the Vinduro, hopefully I'll be organised enough by then to have a bike and enter the event myself.

While riding is always a bonus the important thing is to be there the night before for the pub meal and camp fire yarns
