8 WEEKS TO GO	Hello Riders,
In This Issue Start Training! Souvenir T-Shirts and Posters ON SALE NOW Need some Good Light? Movie Festival There's something about Friday... Join the Crew IMPORTANT: Update your team details NOW! It is important that you complete all details for your team-mates NOW. To make changes and update your rider details, go to www.evententrysystem.com and login using your team name and password. Required (for each team member) • Full name • Date of birth • Contact numbers • Street address • Email addresses (unique emails for each rider). Rider Tip #1 Download your Team Race Waiver NOW. Fill it in and bring it with you to the Rego Tent. It saves a bucket load of time at registration Rider Tip #2 Service your bike BEFORE you come to the race. It sounds obvious, but you'd be surprised how many bikes they serviced at the last Mont. Rider Tip #3 Charge your lights fully BEFORE you come to the race. The charging tent is for top-ups, and gets busy. Rider Tip #4 Bring Water. If you each bring a 15L container of water with you, you probably won't need to lug any water around during the race, and you can feed the trees nearby when you leave. Trees love that stuff!	Welcome to Newsletter #1. We have plenty of information to pass on to you over the next 8 weeks to keep you well informed about the Mont. There will be one Newsletter each week until the race. Take a few minutes to read them and send them on to your teammates. We look forward to seeing you at the Mont soon. Keep the rubber side down! Start Training! Get yourself in fine form for the Mont. We uploaded a Mont 24 Hour training program developed by Mark Fenner a couple of weeks ago. You can find it in the Training/Gear section, as well a great set of tips for those new to racing by Mary-Claire McDonald. Canberra-based riders take note, Cycle Education are again running their popular skills training program in the leadup to the Mont. These four nightly information and skills sessions will introduce you to the fun factor of 24hr team mountain bike racing. Make a booking, make some friends, skill up and have a great time. More information on these sessions can be found HERE. In addition, over the coming weeks, we'll be putting new content on the site to help you prepare for the big race. Stay tuned for more training, nutrition, race prep, team dynamics, bike bits and secret tips from long suffering 24 hour racers on just how to make your camp setup the best it can be. Souvenir T-Shirts & Posters ON SALE NOW! This year's Mont T-shirt design reminds us of vintage surf shirts, fish and chips and chocky milkshakes from the local milk bar... all feel good classics. Like last year, the print run will be strictly limited, so pre-ordering will be almost the only way to get one. You can order one here or arm wrestle someone who did. ORDER HERE This year's poster is a cracker too. A shame we never got to hang any before the Mont sold out. Seeing as there was no opportunity to pinch one from your bike shop window, we'll be printing a limited run for all you art lovers. Note: You have only 4 weeks to place your orders. Orders are to be collected from the REGO TENT. Need some Good Light? You will ride better and enjoy your night riding more when you can see well. NiteRider lights are a solid choice for 24HR racing and they have released some great new products in time for this year's Mont. Check them out HERE. MTB Movie Festival at the Mont. Cannes, Flickerfest, Sundance, Whistler - all famous film festivals, and not one of them held in a forest. We'll fix that oversight in 2010 as we host the inaugural MTB Film Festival in and amongst the action of the Mont 24 Hour MTB Race 2010. You are invited to submit an entry. There's something about Friday... We're doing something special on the Friday night. No, it's not a band, nor a movie or even an all night dance party, but we think it will be something that you will want to experience. We can't say more at this stage (it's a secret), but it will go off big time. Get to the Mont early, stay Friday night to make sure you are there for all the action. Join the Race Crew. We'd like your help to deliver the Mont. Become part of the Mont 24 Hour Race Crew and discover a great way to experience the event and support your mates or loved ones while they wear their 'race face'.
