100% FAT - MELROSE FAT TYRE FESTIVAL - THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
FRI 5 – MONDAY 8 JUNE 2009

MTB MADNESS IN MELROSE

Come for THE MAGNIFICENT 7 because it will be a biggie. Troy, the originator of the FTF concept, is coming with a big crowd of Internationals from the Over The Edge scene, so it promises to be pretty spesh. And we will be sure to set up some very cool rides to celebrate the occasion. Now that we have more folk that know there way around here, we will have more rides on at the same time to cater for all abilities and fitness levels. Check out this space for updates.

THE FASTEST FATHER DAY

FATHER'S DAY SUN 7th SEPTEMBER

Bring your old Dad along or get him to bring himself along, and why not join the fellow for a ramble. A great day for Dads and Moms and bairns alike. Watch out for morels. This race follows the path of the Bleating Goat. It is black and narrow and can get a little hairy but there are suitable alternatives for other folk to ride in and have a crack and get some great vantage points of the race. More details to come in this space. All proceeds go to the Rough Riders' Track Maintenance fund for the Bleating Goat track.
