A happy and muddy new year to all our CXHB followers!

CXHB are kicking off with some pre season off road rides starting end of this month, we are running a Sunday ride at the end of each month starting at 9am. Venues will be posted here on the blog but will be approx 2-3hrs long.

The first ride will commence January 29th meeting at the Tait road entrance to the eskdale MTB park and will ride up Waipunga Road to Kaiwaka Road, turn right to state HW 2, dog leg to Tonigio-Settlement Road, returning to Eskdale via state HW 2.

This ride can be completed on a cyclocross bike or MTB, road bikes have been used on this route however there will be 30km of gravel so punctures may hamper road tyres.

All riders are welcome.

So get your dirt bikes out and come join us for some fun, long range forecast tell CXHB organisers that it will be a rainy day so we are hoping for a few mud holes on the way!
