CAR PARKING
There is limited car parking within the park and to maximize the number of cars, we are enlisting the help of a local service club to marshal the car parks. They will be collecting $2 entry fee per car at the gate.
To get as many cars parked as possible ther will be NO TENTS in the car park. You will however be able to put up your tent in the village area. Get there early and follow the instructions and you won't have to carry your gear very far.
News on After Party
After Race Party
After Race Party - Sunday 2nd Nov
The after race party will be held at the Arkaba Hotel (see accomodation page for details) starting at 7pm and ending at 12pm. This will be in the front sports bar this year rather than out the back.
If you want to get there a bit earlier, the bistro will be open for meals at very reasonable prices. There is only room for about 130 people in the bistro, so get there early to avoid disappointment.
There will be a Parmy and Pint deal with prices from the 80's!!!
If you are underage a guardian must be present and supervising.

SANMTBC is a joint venture of the two existing South Australian Mountain Bike clubs – Adelaide Mountainbike Club (AMBC) and Insideline DH Mountainbike Club (IL). Our goal is to provide a clear and united communication channel for competitors to register, attend and participate in events and to simplify communication for media, spectators and support facilities.
AMBC has been operating a statewide eight event XC series for the past 19 years with huge success and average participation of 150 riders at each event.
IL has been operating a statewide six event DH series for the past 14 years with great success, regularly has 160 riders participating and boasts the highest percentage of ‘junior’ rider participation nationally (over 35%).
Our clubs have successfully worked together on a number of cross discipline events including the Australian Masters Games and more recently the 2007 World Police and Fire Games. Shared use of resources, equipment and expertise are reasons for our success as clubs both individually and collectively. We take the learnings and feedback from each joint event and use that to further improve and fine tune future events.
We share the goals of working to increase community participation in the sport and to strive for a great experience for all members and participants at every event we run.
