My son got a call late yesterday & has been accepted to do the MA Trials training at AIS in Canberra starting 6pm Sun 18th - Tues 21st may.
So now I'm trying to figure the logistics & costs of getting him & his bike to Canberra.
Flying & Freighting vs Driving & Trailering etc.
So currently ...

Just a quick update form the secretary's desk...


For those who have entered... have a think.... did you read your supp regs? PROPERLY??? Would be a shame to turn up at the Aussie Titles and have a penatly of 25 points added to your score BEFORE YOU EVEN START just cos you didnt read your supp ...

Great questions cadman!

KYFU,
